Chest X ray to diagnose Pneumonia

2021-11-15 07:08:16
Physician suspects pneumonia or some other chest related disease. He prescribed me antibiotics from today and asked to get a chest Xray done. My doubt is that if I start antibiotics from today but go for chest Xray day after tomorrow (Wednesday), can pneumonia still get detected ?
