How is pneumonia treated?

Asked by JLeslie (65417points) March 2nd, 2017 from iPhone

Aside from antibiotics, if it’s bacterial or mycoplasma, what is used to get the gook out of the lungs? Do they do any special breathing treatments? Are humidifiers helpful or hurtful?

Is there an antifungal if it is caused from a mild or fungus?

Obviously, pneumonia should be monitored by a doctor, so let’s just take that as a given and here what you have experienced or know regarding pneumonia.
