Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
15 days rest, post pneumonia is enough and you can resume your work now.
You already said that the cough is gone down, this suggests recovery.
Also note following things which favour recovery.
1. Absence of fever
2. Improving appetite
3. Absence of cough with expectoration.
4. No chest pain.
So if you are having above mentioned things then you are definitely improving from pneumonia and so can join your work.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
