Home remedies cannot treat lung infections; however they can help manage it. You will need some medical treatment to help with your recovery. You can follow this plan to help alleviate some symptoms: 1. Drink 8 cups of water or liquid per day - this helps thin mucus and decrease a fever. 2. Get plenty of rest to allow yourself to recover. 3. Eat a healthy diet. You should see your doctor or go to a CareClinic to help identify your lung infection as bacterial, viral, community acquired. I wish you a speedy recovery. Ms. Gonzales, RN, MSN
