A member asked:
Just finished antibiotics for pneumonia on saturday chest still hurts and feels tight but can breath, using inhalers as well. is this normal?

Go back to doctor: Without examining you it is impossible to tell what these symptoms are due to. It may be that the inflammation, which may recede much more slowly than resolution of the actual microorganisms producing the infection, but if you are still requiring inhalers in order to breathe properly you should be checked to make sure nothing serious is going on. Good luck.
