Recently treated for pnuemonia for 4 weeks and still having bronchiospams. what might be the best treatment now! lungs are clear no asthma hx?

Possible delay: With any infection - viral or bacterial, lung tissue is 'hurt'with the inflammation. The antibiotics will take care of the 'infection ' aspect. However, lungbtissue might still be irritated causing the intermittent wheezing. Would definitely get rechecked a week or 2 after completing antibiotics and then in a month or less depending on symptoms - should not be longstanding process.
