Call your doctor: If you have pneumonia and you don't feel better after five days of antibiotics, please contact your doctor or better still, go for a followup office visit, to the *same* doctor.

Pneumonia : If you finish an antibiotic and still feel ill, you should have a recheck by your doctor. Pneumonia can be a very serious illness.
