A member asked:

How many days would it usually take for rales , rhonchi in to disappear after starting treatment and fever subsiding after 24 hours of treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pneumonia symptoms: It can take up to a week sometimes for those "noises" to disappear after starting appropriate treatment. You are now killing the bacteria causing the infection and noise, but now your body has to get rid of all that "garbage" down in the lungs. Do deep breathing and cough exercises to help loosen the material and open lung sacs and by all means avoid ANY respiratory irritants such as smoke, dust,
