Pneumonia: Pneumonia is inflammation of the lung and can be from viruses, bacteria, chemicals and other toxic substances, fungus or anything else your lung sees as an irritant. This is never normal. How long you treat and what you treat with depends on the cause. The fever clearing depends on how successful the treatment and severity of the pneumonia. You must go back to your MD until you are well. Go ASAP.

Get re-evaluated: if your still febrile your pneumonia may not be totally resolved or you may have a different problem altogether. motrin is not the answer
