I'm curious about something. I've had asthma allergic rhinitis for the past two years, but before all that started, I was able to donate blood. Do you think it's still okay for me to give blood now?

I've been in the hospital for pneumonia and all my blood tests came back normal except for the ESR, which is a bit high. I saw my sputum test results on the doctor's phone, and it mentioned something about Haemophilus influenzae, which I looked up and found it's a type of bacteria causing pneumonia. They've got me on Taximax 1500, Pulmoclear, Zipod CV 200, Linowin, and some Mucolytic syrup called Ambrolite. I used to have a low-grade fever thats been gone for about 34 days now, but Im still dealing with this dry cough that just wont quit and gets worse a lot. Its been six days since treatment started, and Im still in the hospital. How much longer do you think it'll take for me to recover with the treatment Im on currently?

Yes,continue same treatment as advised by the physician.Patient is advised tab levocetrizine 10 mg orally,at bedtime for 5 days .
