Hello and welcome to the HealthcareMagic!
In pneumonia IV antibiotic can be given if oral antibiotic is not working. Sputum gram stain examination and sputum culture can be done for further evaluation, if your condition does not improve.
By sputum culture, causative organism can be identified.
Hope this solves your concern.
Take care
