Hormones, such as glucocorticoids, are generally used to treat pneumonia. Glucocorticosteroids are mainly used in the following cases: when there is significant inflammation of the lungs, contraction and spasm of the bronchial smooth muscle, severe inflammation, and a large amount of sputum blocking the airway, resulting in wheezing and shortness of breath, glucocorticosteroids can be used. Glucocorticosteroids may also be used when the inflammation is more pronounced, causing respiratory failure or even respiratory distress leading to a state of shock. Through anti-inflammation and anti-shock, it can promote the stabilization of vital signs, which can reduce the inflammation in the lungs and alleviate the patient’s toxic reaction. The choice of glucocorticoids can use dexamethasone, methylprednisolone, prednisone, etc.
