I was prescribed azithromycin and told to continue with my xopenex and prednisone. I also took cough syrup, sudafed and motrin. Saturday I was significantly worse and over the weekend it esciladed. My temperature would go from 96.2 to 100.5 and back down over a 30min period. Monday I went back to the doctor and she heard "crackling" and a lack of air movement in my lower left lung. She diagnosed me with community acquired pneumonia.
He is still running fever with a wet cough. Through all of this, he has continued to have a wet cough. Whenever he comes off a med he runs fever. We feel we are getting no where.

I am a 29 year old female, never smoked, healthy weight and beside breathing and anxiety issues healthy.
cough, fever, chills, shortness of breath and sharp or stabbing pain. You need to drink plenty of fluids, Rest, and keep any fever you may have under control. It's also possible that you have pulled a muscle from coughing. If this is the case then it should heal within a week or so after the coughing stops. Probably not what you want to hear but you still need medical treatment.

After eating certain foods I cough....it starts out as a dry cough and then starts to rattle, but never cough anything up.

Any suggestions?
I have COPD and bullous emphysema. I have had pneumonia for several months. I have done levaquin, then 20 days of cefepime IV 3 times a day. I cleared up substantially. I am now taking an antibiotic called bactrim. I seems to be still hanging around, ie coughing up the yellow/light green sputum and tired. No temperature. Is the pneumonia ever going to go away?
I have had this several times myself. Usually, you have to take a cough syrup that makes you cough and breath in steam either in the shower or over a hot bowl and apply Vicks methol near your nose and cough it out to open up your lungs. I don't know what else to say here. Get lots of rest. I haven't had it since because everytime I get a bad cough or flu at the end of the illness I take that cough syrup with Guyac (not sure of the spelling sorry) but Robitussin has it.
I had texted with my physician and after being sick for 11 days, he had put me on mild Antibiotics Azithromycin 250mg for 5 days (first day 500mg) saying I probably have walking pneumonia. I had Mycoplasma walking pneumonia 2x before in 2009 already. It slowly improved after taking it and I'm better, but still not healthy and feel it is getting worse again. Every inbreath I feel a cold tickling in the mid chest area and feel I need to suppress a dry cough.

Hi and sorry you are ill. It takes 1-3 weeks to get over viral pneumonia but it can take a little longer depending on your age and health. You could have a secondary bacterial infection that you can get after viral pneumonia that is called walking pneumonia and is caused by either bacteria called Mycoplasma or Chlamydia pneumoniae. "Walking" pneumonia gives you a low grade fever, tiredness, dry hacking cough, pain in the ribs area. They can check for these by testing and culture.
