If you have community-acquired pneumonia, your doctor will prescribe you antibiotics
immediately, often prior to tests on the phlegm sample. Antibiotics treat pneumonia caused by
bacteria. Antibiotics are usually given straight away as bacterial infections are the most
common cause of pneumonia and antibiotics are generally very effective. It is usually safe to
assume that the infection will respond to standard antibiotics such as amoxicillin. Generally for
chest infections you should take antibiotics for about seven days and you must complete the
full course

If you have to go to the hospital, your doctor may use any of the above antibiotics. Other
antibiotics that your doctor may use in this situation include:

Coughing is your body's way of getting foreign substances and mucus out of your lungs and

prevent rest. Home treatment can help you feel more comfortable when you have a cough.
