His Majesty the King's doctors administered a new dosage of antibiotics after his lungs were found still to be inflamed, the Royal Household Bureau said in a statement released last night.

His Majesty's fever, however, had lessened and he could sleep well and had regained his appetite, the bureau said in its 28th statement since the King was admitted to Siriraj Hospital with a high fever and inflamed lungs on September 19.

Scores of people continued to visit the hospital yesterday to sign get-well messages for His Majesty.

Archbishop Salvatore Pennacchio, the apostolic nuncio to Thailand, wished for the King's speedy recovery on behalf of Pope Benedict XVI.

Bhutanese Ambassador Singye Dorjee signed a message and presented a flower basket on behalf of the grandmother and aunt of Bhutan's King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck.
