10 Pneumonia Causes
10. Treatment
Although pneumonia is a very serious problem, it can still be treated in most cases. The treatment will depend largely on which pathogen is causing the disease, and the severity of the condition. The patient will also likely be given medication for symptoms of pneumonia such as a cough and fever.
In more serious cases, if the patient is really struggling to breathe, an oxygen mask may be necessary to help them get the oxygen they need. In the more severe cases, it may even be necessary to put the patient on a ventilator. Pneumonia can be fatal, so it should always be taken very seriously regardless of how healthy the patient might otherwise be.
