Positive prognosis: Appears that you are stabilizing and having a non-critical course. Finish your antibiotics, hydrate well, eat healthy, avoid alcohol and smoking. Might inhale steam in shower or use a nebulizer to hydrate lungs. Check your oxygenation via a pulse oximeter. Seems no need to retest, or use additional meds, at this point. Contact doctor if you find difficulty breathing or lips turn blue.
