pneumonia treatment

Medicine for pneumonia

Pneumonia treatment refers to the medical interventions used to combat lung infection, typically involving antibiotics for bacterial cases, antivirals for viral pneumonia, or antifungals when fungi are responsible.

Treatment varies by severity—mild cases may require only oral medication and rest at home, while severe pneumonia demands hospitalization, oxygen therapy, or intensive care.

The doctor started pneumonia treatment immediately after the chest X-ray confirmed the diagnosis.
