Pneumonia Medications

Pneumonia medications are medications used to treat the symptoms and underlying infection of pneumonia. These medications may include antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, steroids, cough suppressants, and mucolytics. The specific medication prescribed will depend on the type and severity of pneumonia. These medications work by either killing the bacteria, virus, or fungus causing the infection, or by reducing inflammation and helping with cough and breathing difficulties. In severe cases, pneumonia may require hospitalization and treatment with intravenous antibiotics or breathing support. It is important to complete the full course of medication as prescribed by a doctor, even if symptoms improve, to ensure complete recovery and prevent recurrence of the infection.
