Hi Christina.
when I first joined a few weeks ago I was having trouble with my posts and you helped me (I appreciated that). I'm sorry to hear you're soooo sick.
I had pneumonia 12yrs. ago- it was one of the hardest things I've gone through. It was so painfull with unbelievable coughing. Besides taking antibiotics until they're finished I also drank fresh ginger tea. Green tea is also great. Buy fresh ginger root - peel and slice thinly and boil for 5 minutes. I also bought one of those magic bags, you know the ones you can heat in the microwave. Put that on your chest-it's soothing.
If you're not completely better after the antibiotics, then go back to the doctor. Mine was so bad that I had to be on inhalers and take a narcotic cough syrup at night because I wouldn't stop coughing. Take care and I hope you feel better soon.

If
Thanks for this!
