Pneumonia, from the point of view of different causes, is mainly categorized into bacterial pneumonia, which accounts for the largest number of types of pneumonia, viral pneumonia, mycoplasma pneumonia, fungal pneumonia, rickettsial pneumonia, and leptospirosis pneumonia, as well as other protozoan and parasitic pneumonia, and radiation pneumonia. The choice of treatment for pneumonia is based on the type of pneumonia and the severity of the disease. For bacterial pneumonia you can choose antibiotics that kill both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, such as amoxicillin clavulanate potassium, cefuroxime sodium, cefamandole, ceftriaxone sodium, cefpiramide, cefoperazone sulphadiazine sodium, fosfomycin sodium, levofloxacin, melilofloxacin, and other drugs. If it is more severe, you may choose to combine two medications if necessary. Usually about a week of continuous treatment can be completely cured. For viral pneumonia generally do not need special treatment, only symptomatic treatment, appropriate bed rest, cough and phlegm as well as antipyretic and other treatments. You can use proprietary Chinese medicinal preparations, such as antiviral oral solution, blue scutellaria oral solution, fishy grass granules, as well as a large dose of vitamin C and other treatments. For fungal pneumonia, the use of antifungal drugs such as amphotericin B, fluconazole, and ashwagandha, etc., the treatment period is relatively long, up to about one month to three months, to prevent its recurrence. For pneumonia caused by protozoan parasites, timely deworming treatment should be carried out, and cure can usually be achieved. If necessary, you can take the respiratory secretions for pathogen culture, as well as drug sensitivity test, choose sensitive antibiotic treatment, can shorten the course of treatment, to achieve a cure.
