It can be hard to tell bronchitis and pneumonia apart. This side-by-side chart of symptoms can help:
Use a humidifier or try steam to loosen up the mucus; a hot shower can work well.If it’s caused by bacteria, you’ll get an antibiotic. If it’s caused by a virus, you may get an antiviral drug. And if it’s really severe, you may need to go to the hospital, though that’s not as common.
Drink plenty of fluidsAnd again, it’s best to avoid cough medicines. In fact, there’s actually very little proof that they can help with the cough you get from pneumonia. Pneumonia usually runs its course within a few weeks with treatment, but you may be tired for as long as a month.
