Pneumonia treatment
I have been taking Levofloxacin and Doxycycline for almost a week now. Doxycycline lasted for five days and today will make the final day for the Levofloxacin. I have noticed some huge improvement in my health, but so far I've been having problem staying asleep beyond 4 hours at nights. Should I extend the use of Levofloxacin for my treatment or should I quit using it now that I've completed the seven days dosage. Also, is there a better medication recommended for treating pnuemonia? kindly advice me properly.

You can stop levofloxacin once you have completed 7 days course and if you dont have any fever or cough.In case you have symptoms,you will have to check for sputum culture and sensitivity
