Had pneumonia 3 weeks ago, took 10 days of bioxin. still have dark yellow mucus in morning and light yellow the rest of day. should i be concerned?

Not much: Recovery from pneumonia may take 4 to 6 weeks. There is inflammation remaining in your lung from the pneumonia that slowly resolves. It is responsible for the yellow mucous and the darker mucous overnight reflects the mucous that has been in the airway overnight.

Pneumonia: It is quite normal to still have a productive cough after treatment. Main thing is that you are feeling better, have no fever, no breathing problems, good appetite and can do all your activities easily.
