Wow you are asking a lot.
Lets start with you have been healthy up to now. Congratulations. Be glad for that.
Pneumonia is can be a long recovery. If you had it bad enough to go to the hospital you had it BAD. Pneumonia is inflammation of the lung. This is most commonly due to an infection. Antibiotics will help a bacterial infection, but will not help a viral infection. Over time your body's natural defenses will clear a viral infection. It may take a month or two after finishing the course of antibiotics, until you feel completely back to normal. It is possible for inflammation or irritation to remain in the lungs for 6 to 8 weeks after the actual infection is gone. Your discomfort, cough and shortness of breath may linger. However this should gradually improve and eventually go away completely.
My guess is that your antibiotic was Levaquin (or levofloxacin). Known side affects are
Feelings of restlessness, headaches, drowsiness, dizziness, sleep problem (insomnia), nauase/vomiting, diarrhea and stomach pain, which are some of the symptoms that you described.
You have a lot on your plate. Single mom, working, going to school. Something’s gotta give somewhere. Maybe you can find someone to help with the kid(s) for a weekend so that you can get some quality rest. Follow up with the doctor maybe you could benefit from nebulizer therapy. Good luck. Feel better soon.
