Recurrent pneumonia over 3 months with new tiredness/cramps needs deeper workup, not just repeat antibiotics - could be immune, GI or vitamin D related. Get CBC, LFT/RFT, stool studies done and start D3 supplements. Book a private consult so I can review your full history and reports.

3 months of antibiotics disrupts the gut microbiome significantly â this is almost certainly the cause of your stomach cramps and fatigue. Vit D at 23 is also low and adds to tiredness. Start a good probiotic and Vit D supplement immediately.
Next Steps
Take probiotics (Lactobacillus-based) twice daily for at least 4-6 weeks. Start Vit D 60,000 IU weekly. Get CBC and LFT done to rule out other causes of fatigue. Consult me on Practo for a full review.
