A member asked:
What's used to treat broncho-pneumonia, and why do they treat this disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotics: While some cases of pneumonia are caused by viruses and other pathogens, those caused by bacterial organisms respond well to antibiotics. Once the number of organisms in the lung is reduced, recovery ensues with reduction in inflammation, accompanied by improvement in clinical symptoms.
