It really depends on the type of pneumonia. If you have bacterial pneumonia like I did a couple years ago, you will likely be treated with various antibiotics like Amoxil (known also as Amoxicillin) and Augmentin. If you have viral pneumonia, pretty much all you can do is try to bolster your immune system, don't exert yourself, stay hydrated and see a doctor as soon as possible.
