Why do doctors have patients with pneumonia refrain from drinking water?

Patients with any lung infection should not refrain from drinking water! Hydration is very important to keeping lung secretions thinned so a patient can cough up the mucous. So whoever told you doctors "refrain" from advising patients to drink water when the patient has pneumonia is simply wrong.
