<s>[INST] What is the recovery period of pneumonia? [/INST] Patients suffering from severe pneumonia require 4- 6 months time, getting back to normal. This implies coming back to the most healthy version of themselves. However, reduction in intensity of symptoms can be experienced right after the medicines have been administered. Very severe pneumonia may have the following staged improvement:
Within a week's time, you are no longer suffering from fever
Cough and mucous production is completely resolved by a month's time
Around the 6th week post medication, you will no longer experience breathlessness or similar difficulties
After 3 months, you only feel a little tired while all other symptoms have disappeared
Around the 6th month, you are completely back to your normal life with no signs of pneumonia Source: Medifee. Link: https://www.medifee.com/faq/pneumonia. Field: Lung Disease. Disease: Pneumonia </s>
