Yeah, it's not good because the lung is supposed to move freely like a sponge. When it's infected with a bunch of bacteria it sorta solidifies and it becomes very painful to breathe. You have to let the antibiotics pretty much run the course, yours sounds like at least 2 weeks, maybe more. Make sure you follow up with probiotics otherwise your digestion will go to crap (pardon the pun). Don't forget to whack your body with a lot of extra vitamin C over the next few weeks too. It will help rebuild the mucus membranes and supports collagen production in your connective tissue. Nutrition is just as important as medication when recovering from infections. Don't be afraid to take lots of vitamins and eat really healthy for a while.
