Inspection Findings
According to the American Lung Association, Pneumonia Treatment and Recovery .Take any medications as prescribed by your doctor. If your pneumonia is caused by bacteria, you will be given an antibiotic. It is important to take all the antibiotics, even though you will probably start to feel better in a couple of days. If you stop before the prescription is gone, you risk having the infection return, and you increase the chances of the germs becoming resistant to treatment in the future .
