Hi there

As you said you have hot pneumonia and I assume you are taking medication as prescribed do the following it will help you in breathing
1.Take steam inhalation thrice a day which will help to clear up the respiratory tracts
2. Make sure you are taking proper medications as pneumonia is a life threatening condition you can't just ignore it for that you better check up with your doctor as a follow up
3 . Do not try to do stenous work as respiratory accessory muscles get exhausted.
4.Follow up


Thanks

Regards
Dr Varun
