Pneumonia is an infection in one or both lungs caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. The infection leads to inflammation in the air sacs of the lungs, which are called alveoli. The alveoli fill with fluid or pus, making it difficult to breathe. A patient is usually in pain but if diagnosed properly, pneumonia can be cured. An experienced doctor may prescribe a medication that will depend on the specific cause of your pneumonia.
