What will help my pneumonia go away with pill antibiotics?

Pneumonia: If it is caused by a bacterial germ, the antibiotic should improve your situation. Rest and plenty of fluids is a mainstay of treatment. An inhaler or nebulizer to treat wheezing may improve the deep cough or shortness of breath. Always complete the antibiotic course prescribed by your physician.

Rest and time: Antibiotics are the key, unless there are complications.
