Recovery time is very important when you have Pneumonia. You should try your best to recover at home and avoid getting secondary infections from Pneumonia.

Home treatment for Pneumonia:

- Make sure that you get a lot of rest. You will need to get at least 8 hours of sleep every day. Some get over 8 hours with taking naps in between.

- Make sure to get a lot of fluids. You can have either water or tea. Stay away from soft drinks while you are trying to recover.

- Take either Tylenol, Aspirin, or a acetaminophen to help with fever and reduce the amount of pain that you could be in. Only take these with the doctors permission and follow the directions carefully.

Make sure that none of the medications have been recalled for Pneumonia before you start taking them. Keep them out of reach from children if you have kids around. Never stop treatment without talking to your doctor first because that could cause it to come back.
