 ==Overview==
-Most cases of pneumonia can be treated without hospitalization. Typically, oral antibiotics, rest, fluids, and [[home care]] are sufficient for complete resolution. However, people with pneumonia who are having trouble breathing, people with other medical problems, and the elderly may need more advanced treatment. If the symptoms get worse, the pneumonia does not improve with home treatment, or complications occur, the person will often have to be hospitalized.
