Pneumonia treatment varies widely according to a number of factors such as the type of infection, age and physical condition of the patient, complications and accompanying conditions, etc. Viral pneumonia has no known medical cure other than rest and symptomatic treatment such as cough suppressants. The rare varicella virus pneumonia can be treated with the antiviral medication acyclovir. Most pneumonia cases are caused by bacteria, and the initial treatment is usually a broad-spectrum antibiotic such as a macrolide, tetracycline or fluoroclinolone. In general, pneumonia has an extremely high cure rate with most antibiotics. If your doctor finds it necessary to hospitalize you, you might be treated with a cephalosporin, penicillin or vancomycin antibiotic.

try things that are easy to swallow like custard, eggs, soups, soggy or eggy toast, Gatorade helps to replenish sugars and salts, avoid dairy products and any other products that you feel make you muccussy , taking some ibuprofen might make swallowing easier, don't expect things to taste the same as usual either and don't smoke!

If you see the signs of whooping cough in the first two or three weeks, go to a doctor and get antibiotics. Make sure to get all of your required Vitamin C every day. Make a healthy juice with fruits and vegetables and put some raw onion into it.

Why can pneumonia be deadly if not treated?

Pneumonia is not always fatal if left untreated. In fact, most cases are viral and will get better on their own. However, all types of pneumonia can be fatal if they are severe enough to prevent adequate exchanges of gasses (oxygen going in and carbon dioxide going out). In addition, bacterial pneumonia can spread to the blood and other organs and cause them to fail.
