Hello.If chest X ray was done and you are taking levofloxacin and prednisone, broncho-pneumonia is the most likely diagnosis.You must finish the prednisone regimen.If after finishing, night sweats persist is advisable to realize another chest X ray to rule out other pathologies.I wish you good health
