I have klebsiella pneumonia from last month and currently I am taking chloramphenicol 500 mg from 12 days as 3 times for first 5 days then 2 times for rest of days. I have also red bumps on back of my tongue. It was all started from 1 week cough then green mucus and now weakness whenever I take off taking medicine.

Klebsiella pneumonia usually needs 14 days antibiotics course as per drug susceptibility and may need further course depending on the clinical course. The drug chloramphenicol is associated with adverse drug reactions as like other drugs and soreness and inflammation of mouth maybe it's among listed drug reactions. It's better to review your condition to your treating physician as he will be best to decide further management of your condition.
