What r the medications given for lung pneumonia and for low long pls, thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ambiguous: Antibiotics. And for as long as it takes to get better. Usually for at least ten days. There is no way to be more specific. It depends on the history, the kind of pneumonia, and all kinds of other variables.
