Pneumonia treatment: It takes a few days for symptoms of lung infections (pneumonia, bronchitis) to improve with antibiotic treatment, and often they worsen the first 2-3 days. Sweaing feet may be unrelatged and in itself not worrisome. Hang in there, taking the drug(s) as directed. Get back in touch with the doctor or clinic if still getting worse in the next couple of days, or if no better after a week. Good luck!
