Pneumonia - Treatment
Treatment for pneumonia depends the type of pneumonia you have, the germ causing your infection, and how severe your pneumonia is. Bacterial pneumonia is treated with medicines called antibiotics. Antibiotics don't work when the cause of pneumonia is a virus. If you have viral pneumonia, your doctor may prescribe an antiviral medicine to treat it.
