Type antibiotic, the doctor prescribes depends on what type of bacteria caused your pneumonia. If the doctor is not sure what type of pneumonia called, he or she can give you an antibiotic that covers a wide range of bacteria. You usually need to take antibiotics for about five to seven days. If you do not feel better within 48 hours after starting antibiotics, it is important to inform your doctor as bacteria that cause infection can be resistant to antibiotics. Your doctor may prescribe you a different type of antibiotics. Antibiotics will not work if the pneumonia is caused by a virus, because antibiotics only fight bacteria, not viruses. Your overalls immune system creates strattera antibodies to destroy the virus. If you are sick, your doctor may decide to refer you to the hospital. You may be given antibiotics through IV. As you get better, you can break away from the drops and pills to take antibiotics. If you are patient in hospital may have to have oxygen to help your breathing or even need help to breathe with a ventilator artificial breathing machine. If you have a fever you can take paracetamol or child, a children's acetaminophen (for example, Calpol). Always read the patient information that comes with the medicine, and if you have any questions, please contact your pharmacist for advice >>. <<
