What should I do about lobar pneumonia and pleural effusion?

Patient's question:

Pneumococcal pneumonia, in addition to pleural effusion, has been discharged for 5 days. The body temperature is below 37.5 degrees Celsius. It rises when sweating. I received ceftriaxone for 3 days at home. I don't know what to do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this condition should be a clinical manifestation of a severe bacterial infection, and it is necessary to first treat it with high-dose antibiotics. Chinese medicine treatment can be combined, but it may reduce the efficacy. Additionally, in daily life, patients should balance their nutritional intake, engage in aerobic exercises to exercise their bodies, and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical fitness and accelerate recovery speed.
