Typically, oral antibiotics, rest, fluids, and home care are sufficient for
complete resolution. However, people who are having trouble breathing, with
other medical problems, and the elderly may need greater care. If the
symptoms get worse, the pneumonia does not improve with home treatment,
or complications occur, then hospitalized may be recommended. Over the
counter cough medicine has not been found to be helpful in pneumonia.
Complications
