If you still have pneumonia, especially if you still have symptoms, since June in addition to the "black spots", this is called a complicated pneumonia and you should see a lung specialist to determine why the pneumonia has not completely cleared.  If all you have is the 7 "black spots" they may be associated with a healed pneumonia, either cysts or scars, and of no consequence.  You must ask your doctor to tell you what these spots are most likely to be.
