Hi Serah,
Thank you for your question and for joining EmpowHER. From what I've read here on pneumonia, it can take weeks for you to fully recover from a bout with this infection. It's good that the fever and cough have decreased, and the mucus also is less bothersome--these are signs you are getting better. Your doctor and his/her staff should be your best resource for information. However, this advocacy sheet may help provide some insight for helping you advocate for your health: Pneumonia - 4 Questions to Ask Your Doctor. There are other similar articles on EmpowHER as well that you are welcome to check out.
Good luck for a speedy recovery.
