How Can Pneumonia Be Treated?

52 year old male. No prior medical problems. Developed pneumonia. Was in hospital for 2 1/2 weeks, then sent to a rehab hospital. Stayed 11 days there. Went home on 4 liters of oxygen 24/7. Felt like I was getting better the 1st week than started to get more and more fatigued. Couldn't eat food because everything tasted like it was dipped in salt. Went for re-check 2 weeks and dr. sent me straight to hospital.
