A member asked:
When complete with antibiotic cycle for pnuemonia, how long should a repeat x-ray be done to check for results?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sooner the better: It can be done as soon as you finish, or may not be necessary if your symptoms are completely resolved, also depends on what kind of pneumonia you had eg, if it involved more than one part of your lungs.
