Pneumonia would have to be diagnosed as bacterial pneumonia first before the correct treatment could commence. Once you have been diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia, it is usually treated with antibiotics. Specific antibiotics will be prescribed to you by your doctor, and it will depend on a few factors including your general health, other health conditions you may already have, the type of medications you are currently taking, recent use of other antibiotics, and evidence of any antibiotic resistance. It is best to talk to Dr. Luis J. Mesa, MD about your symptoms so you can be properly diagnosed and given the correct antibiotics to help your bacterial pneumonia.
