Ways To Treat Pneumonia Safely And Effectively

Rest

Resting is an important part of recovering from any illness. Sleep is needed to boost the immune system, which is of particular importance in treating viral pneumonia. Overexertion may further irritate the lungs and cause the infection or symptoms to worsen. Avoid doing aerobic exercise or increasing heart rate with an active pneumonia infection as hard breathing may aggravate the lungs. Resting in bed with a humidifier running is a good way to soothe airway passages to the lungs.
