Doctors use antibiotics to treat pneumonia caused by bacteria, the most common cause of the condition. Antibiotics have a high cure rate for pneumonia.
Your doctor will choose your antibiotic based on a number of things, including your age, your symptoms and how severe they are, and whether you need to go to the hospital. The number of days you take antibiotics depends on your general health, how serious your pneumonia is, and the type of antibiotic you are taking.

∙ 12y agoThat is a good question as my cousin was just admitted to the hospital for the same thing. She is eight months pregnant and was feeling very sick, so you know we thought she was under the weather from being pregnant. Well she couldn't breathe last night so her husband took her they initially was going to give her an anti-biotic and send her home but her x-rays came back they said that she couldn't be released. Pneumonia while pregnant is a very serious thing so I encourage anyone who is either pregnant or even not pregnant that if they think they have it and are not sure, GO TO THE HOSPITAL!!! It can kill you afterall it is a lung disease and your breathing is essential for both you and your unborn child.. Peace and Love I hope this helps someone.
