Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I had a low-grade fever of 40 degrees Celsius. Later, I went to the hospital for an X-ray, and they said it was lobar pneumonia. I received intravenous drips for three days, and I'm almost better now. Can I stop taking medicine and let it heal on its own? Will it still flare up after full recovery?Doctor's answer:
In your situation, it is essential to follow the recommended treatment. Do not make any changes if the course of treatment is not yet complete. If the medication has not reached the full course, it is not advisable to stop. Additionally, patients should develop a regular routine and adopt healthy habits, persist in treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise. This will help boost the immune system and reduce the risk of illness. The above advice is for this issue, and it is hoped it will be helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery and good health!
