Cephalosporins and amoxicillins are fine for pneumonia, and the specific choice of antibiotic should be based on the pathogen of the infection, so please follow your doctor’s instructions for medication. The common form of pneumonia is community-acquired pneumonia, and the main pathogens are bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma and chlamydia. The more common causative agents are Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Both cephalosporins and amoxicillins are effective against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae. Therefore, cephalosporins or amoxicillins are often used as the empirical treatment of choice for pneumonia. After 3 to 5 days of treatment, the efficacy of the medications is evaluated based on whether the patient’s symptoms and signs improve, and if that is not the case, then macrolide antibiotics targeting Mycoplasma, such as azithromycin, may be added, or a broader-spectrum antibiotic may be used for treatment. If you need to use drugs, please strictly follow the doctor’s instructions under the guidance of a physician, not self-medication.
