Patient's question:

A few days ago, someone in the office kept coughing and sneezing, and they infected me. Instead, I got worse. I cough non-stop every day. These past few days, I feel like my lungs are hurting from coughing. The doctor said I have viral pneumonia. What medicine is good for viral pneumonia? Which one works fast?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, for viral pneumonia, you generally need oral antiviral drugs and anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment. If your condition is severe, you may also need intravenous anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatment. You need to persist in treatment. You should avoid spicy and cold foods, drink more warm water, and cannot smoke or drink beer during the treatment period. Your diet should be light and fresh, with more fresh vegetables and fruits.
