Treatment
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
Antibiotics
Antibiotics are used to treat aspiration pneumonia. Sometimes a person may need to go to the hospital to receive antibiotics directly into their veins through an IV (or intravenous catheter). In other cases, antibiotics taken by mouth may be used to treat the infection.
Breathing Assistance
Some people may have trouble breathing due to aspiration pneumonia. In severe cases, a person may be placed on a machine to help with breathing.
If you are diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia, follow your doctor's instructions.
