Pneumonia can be treated successfully using the modalities of cupping, acupuncture and herbs. I would avoid cold food and drinks with pneumonia.
Avoid dairy and bananas as they tend to increase mucas.
Wear a mask if you go out in public. Drink a lot of fluids to thin mucus. Get lots of rest.
Stay warm
Also most importantly you may need antibiotics , see you pcp
You should avoid to smoking and drinking.
I am sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. Regular consistent acupuncture helps to boost immunity. Good nutrition and exercise also help the body to strengthen its defenses. Now that you already have pneumonia the key is to push fluids, good nutrition and rest. Wishing you the best, Dr. Ruth
