How long is it supposed to it take for pneumonia to go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not too long usually: It's often hard to tell if a pneumonia is viral, but even if bacterial (and treated), patients are usually improving after a week. If you have a lot of other diseases, especially lung disease, it may take a little longer. Coughing may take a few weeks to clear up entirely.
