Shortness Of Breath, Pain In Lower Rib Cage Going Around Back, Fatigue, No Appetite, Phelgm. History Of Being Treated For Cinderalla Pnemonia. Recurred Pnemonia?

Hello and thank you. A month ago, my husband was diagnosed with Cinderalla pneumonia. He was treated in hospital for five days on a strong antibiotic delivered via an IV. He returned home but for the last three days he has felt unwell with shortness of breath and pain in his lower rib cage which goes around to his back. He is also very fatigued and has no appetite. He also is bringing up phelm when he coughs. As his wife, I am concerned that his pneumonia has either returned or was not completely resolved in the hospital. It is a long week end and I am unable to contact our family doctor. His temp is within nirmal range but he has bouts of sweating. Dawne
