A member asked:

Left lower lobe pneumonia march 4. no fever, just felt like junk. got levaquin (levofloxacin). now just feeling weak. chest x-ray clear. how long till i'm better?

Post pneumonia: This is highly variable and depends upon what the causative agent of the pneumonia was, the extent of lung involvement, your personal immune system, and other factors. Give this time, get plenty of rest and a healthy diet. Good luck and hope you are better soon.
