Hi Doctor,I am diagonised with right para cardiac pneumonitis and on leave from past 15 days and taking antibiotic injections and nebulization.I am planning to get back to work from tomorrow, can I? or do I need to take rest for few more days.My cough is come down.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. 15 days rest, post pneumonia is enough, and you can resume your work now. You already said that the cough is gone down, this suggests recovery. Also note following things which favor recovery. 1. Absence of fever 2. Improving appetite 3. Absence of cough with expectoration. 4. No chest pains. So if you are having above-mentioned things then you are definitely improving from pneumonia and so can join your work. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
