Diagnosed With Right Lobe Pneumonia. Vicodin Dint Help. Was Put On Levaquin. Blood Work Shows Alkaline Phosphatase. Treatment?

I have been diagnosed with right lobe community acquired pneumonia. The first time at the hospital they sent me home with a z-pack, albuteral, and vicodin. I went back 2 days later because I wasnt getting better and they admitted me for two days then sent me home with Levaquin. I got a copy of my blood work and my AST level was 138, ALT 142, and Alkaline phosphatase 303. Its been 3 days and I still feel the same. What could be going on? I am 25 yrs old, female

Hi, the community aquired pneumonia is a difficult to treat condition. so culture and sensitivity of the sputum may be necessory for complete cure. So i advise you to consult a chest physician for diagnosis and treatment.
Thank you.
