I had pneumonia last year & the doctors said that it takes about 5 weeks before you see any difference in a CAT scan.

no, severe lung infections such as pneumonia or acute (bacterial) bronchitis can take many weeks to heal up from. Just watch out for relapses in symptoms of infections, such as fever and increasing shortness of breath.
