Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I want to ask you few questions. 1. Have you undergone chest x-ray?2. Do you have fever at present? If you are running fever at present than antibiotics should be changed. And no fever only chest pain than wait for 7 days, complete the course of antibiotics. Repeat chest x-ray after 1 week to see for any improvement or any worsening. If worsening is there than consult pulmonologist and get done bronchoscopy and BAD analysis for identification of organism. This will help in directing the antibiotics.
