no pneumonia is usually treated without the indignity and pain of an (antibiotic? ) injection. there are many types and severity of pneumonia but if they medical provider assumed that he had a bacterial type these can be effectively treated with oral antibiotics. sometimes with younger children who may be vomiting (not good candidates for oral medications) or those with severe pneumonia i will give an antibiotic injection. they are not happy about it but getting them better is the most important goal. there is a shot to prevent many types of pneumonia (pneumococcal)? i had one this morning!
do you get a shot if you have pneumonia. my boyfriend told me he has pneumonia he went to urgent care & they tested him for mono as well do you normally recive a shot for pneumonia?
