Had a chest x-ray and was told i have pneumonia. on meds but how long until the fever and body ache goes away? it's really bad!

Pneumonia: Usually fever from pneumonia will go away within 3-4 days of starting appropriate antibiotics but like many things pneumonias vary in severity and the strength or weakness of your own immune response is also a factor.
