I can't tell you a real answer but my Dad had pneumonia twice before and he had to stay in Hospital both times for like a week...so yours isn't that bad...get well soon and keep warm!

Depends how severe is the case. In your case it may last for about 10 to 15 days. Full recovery will take about a month, as you will feel weak and may have cough for some time. Get well soon..

Call the pharmacy where you picked up your meds. They can give you the answer on this one. Pneumonia sucks! Hope you feel better soon.

I think your life may be in danger, my cousin Renny had pneumonia and the doctor accidentally gave him the wrong medicine, and well anyway he has like 6 kids now, but I don't think that really answered the question, so I will just say 4 days, and Yes, I am not a doctor, and this is all one sentence.

I would say 3 weeks at the worst, depending on how your body reacts to the antibiotic.
