His Majesty recovering after respiratory infection - palace

His Majesty the King is recovering after a respiratory infection, the Royal Household Bureau said in a statement Sunday.

His Majesty has no fever and a blood test showed a decrease in inflammation, it said, adding that an x-ray of his lungs showed no sign of inflammation.

It is the fourth health statement in over a week and follows a bulletin on Wednesday which said that His Majesty had shown further improvement following a severe infection.

Doctors have stopped administering antibiotics to His Majesty and will closely monitor his kidneys, the bureau's statement added.
