How can I relieve these chest pains from pneumonia?

Hi,

As you have already treated by Doctor Other wise the treatment is as under

For severe pneumonia, antibiotics are administered into the vein (intravenous). These may be given for 5 to 10 days or even longer. All antibiotics carry some risk for allergic reactions, which can be serious in some cases. Some commonly used antibiotics include penicillins, ampicillin, amoxycillin, cephalosporins and aminoglycosides.

Fever may need to be controlled by acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Steam inhalation helps soothe the air passages and relieve cough. Patients with lung abscess, empyema or other complications may require an operation.

Chest physiotherapy including coughing, deep breathing exercises and chest tapping are important to help remove the mucous and pus from within the lungs.

A healthy diet, regular physical exercises and deep breathing exercises, all help maintain the body's defence mechanisms. One must avoid close contact with people who have flu or cold, or are coughing.

Enjoy Life

I'm sorry but you will have to provide more information than this. Where you diagnosed with pneumonia by a physician? How long ago? What type? Are you undergoing treatment? Discuss the chest pains. Pain on inhalation? Exhalation? Have you asked your physician this question?

try rubbing some Vicks Vapor Rub on your chest....it tends to sooth the pain.
