Get Yo’ Antibiotics

The good ol’ prescription medicine route may not be unique or trend-setting, but it’s certainly tried-and-true. Your doctor will likely prescribe an antibacterial medication – typically amoxicillin if it’s atypical pneumonia, azithromycin if it’s typical pneumonia or a macrolide antibiotic such as erythromycin or clarithromycin for those who are allergic to penicillin – which targets bacterial infections by attacking their cell walls causing them do die which stops the growth of bacteria that causes infection. Make sure you finish the entire course even when symptoms improve earlier than expected; Otherwise surviving bacteria can develop resistance.#soresistancenomore

It’s All About That Supportive Care

While antibiotics fight off harmful bacteria cells inside your body, your immune system works tirelessly outside your body trying  to power through before submitting completely. Help strengthen its efforts by taking care of yourself both physically and emotionally throughout treatment process..It would mean downing a lot of fluids like water,honeyed herbal teas,soups,lots of veggies,maybe some broth,and avoid any caffeinated drinks#hydrateordehydrate.Always consult with your health practitioner before adding these items.Laying on bed while slugging cough syrup all day long isn’t going work too well either.All humidifiers,towels soaked in hot water placed over chest and breathing exercises are recommended.Be mindful when picking out initial medications as other molecules present might have negative side effects on your body.

Alternative Medicine: Yay or Nay?

If you’re a little more adventurous and prefer to go against the grain, alternative medicine may be worth considering {without giving up the essential antibiotics}.Talk about a total wellness journey! Before you throw out traditional forms of medication, give yoga, meditation and good old-fashioned rest a chance.They have been proven to reduce cold symptoms like congestion or cough.Short wave diathermy has also shown promising results in treating pneumonia-related respiratory issues.This procedure reduces inflammation by warming damaged cells which helps enhance tissue repair process.It’s important do some research before diving fully into this route.One example is acupuncture that unfortunately does not help much #notenoughstudies.

Don’t Skip The Vaccination Party

Prevention is key; get vaccinated straightaway as it serves as an assurance of keeping pneumococcal bacteria at bay.According to researchers,pneumonia vaccines can avoid over 2 million deaths worldwide (Woah!). Additionally experts recommend taking flu shots regularly since when combined with bacterial pneumonia they make things worse+ we are in COVID times here,friends…one less thing for our compromised immune systems to deal with.#vaccinesaveusall

Wrapping it up.. With A Bow-Tie Or Two!!

As always please consult your health provider for options specific suited towards your individual needs.Remember,you need all hands-on deck during this period.These could include a medically approved humidifier,a warm blanket,and maybe even that particularly prickly relative who knows how uplift spirit.What has worked from someone else won’t necessarily work for you.Test different approaches and see what sticks.If nothing seems to pan so well let someone know – prevention starts by avoiding diseases like cigarettes smoking,stressful environments,rushing around very busy parts etc Finally,no matter what treatment route you take,self-care should forever remain a priority.Breathe in calm,hark back roots of happy memories and do whatever else makes you beam with joy.Don’t forget to tip your hat to other fighters facing this too.It’s a team player game, folks!
