How long will it take to get over staph pneumonia?
i have been sick since Jan 10th.. i have seen a PA on an acute basis who diagnosed me with bronchitis who gave me cipro x12 days & sent me home. i went back 4 days after completion and was put on a tapered dose of prednisone for 12 more days (same PA).. still no better saw her again and was put on Levaquin 500 10 days.... after 3 days i developed a low-grade fever between 99 and 102. i went to see my ACTUAL dr who said that he thought i needed to be in the hospital, sent me for a chest xray, blood cultures, misc labs, etc.. that afternoon i was admitted. i saw as an inpatient an infectious disease dr who advised that i had staph pneumonia. how long does it take to get over this? i am SOOOO tired, i feel more like i have mono than pneumonia. i can't walk up the stairs in my apt without having to lie down. it's horrible. does anyone know???
