Hello rearward welcome to Chat Doctor.come have gone through your query thoroughly.* X-ray result indicates infection of the lung with some sort of bacteria giving rise to pneumonia.* Pneumonia recovery takes time depending upon the virulence of the organisms, host immune response and other co morbid conditions.* If your symptom score has declined from the initiation of the therapy wait for further progress, if the intensity of the symptoms is as it is then have to consider the change of therapy or consultant. Hope this clears your doubt. Thanks. Regards.
