Hi, I was diagnosed with pnemonia on the 2-14-06. How long will it last? Is it contagious? I feel great but i am still coughing a little and am hoarse.

Hello! Duration of the pneumonia usually depends on how long it took you to diagnose it and then receive treatment. If antibiotics were started early, you may get lucky and get clear in a week. However, my two pneumonias lasted for about 3 weeks, but I think that the average length and the course of treatment is 2 weeks. For how long have you been prescribed antibiotics?
I was getting injections every day! Are you also getting injections or taking oral tablets?
I envy you for feeling great with pneumonia, I could get out of bed as I was so week and powerless, and the coughing hurt.
It is not contagious like an inflammation but the germs that caused your pneumonia may be contagious but others will not necessarily develop pneumonia even if they contract bacterium. It depends on their immune system.
To avoid contaminating others, make sure nobody uses your glasses and plates, touches your tissues and towels, that you don’t hug and kiss anyone until you’re “contagious”.
