For Pneumonia "Had a 102-degree temp for 4 days, 101 degrees for 4 days. Felt like I was coughing up my lungs and could not catch my breath. Sounded like a gurgling sound in my lungs all the time. Was the worst I ever felt. Went to the doctor and got a shot, and within 6 hours, I was ready to go cut the grass."

For Pneumonia "Came down with what seemed like a bad bout of influenza on a Friday night. Absent from work Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday and my cough is dry, chest heavy, gurgling sound in my chest. I thought it was wheezing, but that sound didn't go away even after inhalers. I regret returning to work on Wednesday, but I've used up my sick time. Doctor gave me Rocephin on Thursday morning. By Thursday evening, I'm feeling good enough to be bored and wanting to return to work! The creators of this medicine deserve a Nobel Prize!"

For Pneumonia "I'm a 16-year-old girl. I have had mono in the past. I recently was concerned about my right tonsil because it won't go down. Shortly after the doctor appointment, I got a cold, or so I thought, and it turned out I had walking pneumonia. It happens fast! I had a shot of Rocephin, and my right buttock has never been in such pain, but within 24 hours, my chest felt absolutely clear. I have had a little cough since and some leg and butt pain, otherwise, I'm so grateful for this medicine! ❤️"

For Pneumonia "Went to the doctor on a Monday with what I thought was sinuses acting up. They thought the same... by the next day, I had a bad cough and didn’t even feel like moving any muscle. I stayed on the couch for 2 days with a fever ranging from 100-102! I finally forced myself to go see the doctor again on Wednesday, and yup, pneumonia. They gave me a Rocephin shot in the office and also a prescription for a Z-pack! By the time I got home an hour later, my fever had dropped to around 99, and 30 minutes later, it was back to normal. Woke up the next day and thought, man, I could go to work (not very smart thinking on my end). I made it through work, but it wore me out. The doctor had me come back Saturday for another Rocephin shot, and today I feel more back to normal."

For Pneumonia "After going under anesthesia, I developed a cough I couldn't get rid of. Within a couple of months, I had COVID and then found I had pneumonia. Thank goodness urgent care took an X-ray and found I had developed pneumonia from my anesthesia. Rocephin was literally a lifesaver. Within 24 hours, I felt like I was returning to my old self. The coughing started to subside and my breathing was so much better. I've since made two more trips to urgent care for follow-up shots. Simply an amazing drug!"
