Hi thanks for asking question.
Noted you have consolidation in chest x ray lung and diagnosed as pneumonia.
After complication of antibiotic course patient usually clinically improve but x ray consolidation need time for clearance.
Sometimes consolidation in x ray disappear after one month.
You are clinically improved.so don't worry.
If still fever or cough increasing then repeat chest x ray done.
Avoid smoking like aggravating factors.
I hope your concern is solved.
Take care...
