Will Antibiotic Help Cure Double Pneumonia?
I had double pneumonia a month ago finished my antibiotic yesterday..Was on Leviquin twice and still having a hard time getting tired all the time. How long is the recovery, I did go back to work... I was in the hospital for 11 days with this. Never sick before this...

you might be suffering from resistant bacterial infection which need long course antibiotics treatment, go for a chest x ray to evaluate present lung condition, and if there is some consolidation or pleural effusion remaining the you need another course of effective antibiotics to cure the disease.
try to take a combination of 2 antibiotics like cefuroxime and clarithromycin, clavulinic acid and amoxicillin etc. take some multivitamins to recover fast.
it is good to get culture and sensitivity of your sputum if possible.
thanks and wish you all the best.
