Mgt/Workup: There may be multiple causes of your pneumonia. If your pneumonia is viral, then the antibiotics will not treat your pneumonia. If you are producing sputum or having nasal drainage, this can be sent for cultures, to better guide the therapy. A virtual consult: healthtap.com/DosanjhMD Code: NCYHPZ
