How long will my pneumonia be contagious

2017-12-18 23:21:19
I have mycoplasma pneumonia. I was prescribed Azithromycin today. I need to take 2 pills today, and then 1 per day for 4 more days. I would like to know how long the pneumonia will be contagious for. Specifically, how long it will be contagious through kissing (so through saliva).
