Treating Pneumonia Dr. Monica Davern, MD @mighty.roots talks about the treatment for pneumonia, which depends on the severity of the disease and the type of pneumonia. The two main types are typical pneumonia and atypical pneumonia, both of which are treated with antibiotics. Additionally, respiratory support is crucial, ranging from supplemental oxygen to more invasive positive pressure delivery methods, depending on the severity of the case. #Pneumonia #AntibioticTreatment #RespiratorySupport
