How long can pneumonia be cured?

Mainly due to proper medication, the length of time varies from a week to dozens of days.

Adult pneumonia is mostly caused by bacterial or chlamydia infection, which often causes bilateral lung infection. Chlamydia infection is usually cough with excessive phlegm, and the symptoms are not as serious as bacterial infection, so it is often treated outside the hospital. Whether it's bacteria or chlamydia, as long as you take antibiotics on time and in quantity, it will usually be fine in two or three days. After a week, if antibiotics are used correctly, bacteria or chlamydia will be eliminated. But the cough may last for another two or three weeks. Under normal circumstances, you should go back to the hospital for examination after ten days of medication, and it has been confirmed that the antibiotics used are effective. If pneumonia is caused by a virus, medication is generally not needed. Like influenza and viral cold, people with normal immune function will clear the virus within a week.

In addition, if the infection site is below the lungs, it is not uncommon to have no respiratory symptoms, but there will be fever and abdominal pain. If it is chlamydia, older children and adults should have headaches and sore throats, which can help you determine the cause.
