Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Illness & pneumonia dictate that you should go to ER
The drugs or their doses need to be changed
Investigations may be needed to evaluate cause and complication
The treating doctor alone can suggest further based on his assessment of the situation.
Take care
God bless
