My Father is 53 years old he is doing dialysis due to kidney failure, but before 10 days he has got affected by pneumonia, now he is diagnosed in hospital. The symptoms like short breathless and chest pains are gradually reduced and he do not have any other symptoms of pneumonia, but the doctors says that the infection level is not reduced yet and it is increasing everyday. My confusion is his activities and symptoms like chest pain and short breathless have improved a lot but doctors result says no improvement in the reduction of virus. What could be the reason for it? Is the problem getting cured? Or becoming worse?
