What foods to eat and avoid if a person has pneumonia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eat what you like: You can eat whatever you like. It is important to maintain good nutrition while fighting off an infection. Note, some antibiotics need to be taken on an empty stomach and some foods or other medicines can impair absorption of some antibiotics so check this with your pharmacist.
