You have been feeling sick for several days and you are not getting any better. You thought that you had a cold. When it got worse, you decided it must be the flu. But now, over a week later, you are only getting more and more run down. You have body aches and a fever. You have developed a chesty cough that you can not find any relief for it. Finally, you can take it no longer and you drag your weary body to the doctor. His diagnosis is quick and precise. You have walking pneumonia.

You may be shocked and a little bit frightened at first. But your doctor explains that walking pneumonia is a mild form of pneumonia and you will not have to be hospitalized, as long as you take your medication and follow his directions. You leave the doctor's office feeling relieved, but still miserable. You have a list for walking pneumonia treatment that you intend to follow closely to get yourself back to where you want to be. Number one on the list for treatment is to get the antibiotic that your doctor prescribed filled immediately. This is not going to cure your walking pneumonia, but it will help you to get better more quickly.

Once you arrive home, the next step for treating your illness is to go to bed. You are going to feel worse before you get better. Your doctor told you what over the counter medicines that you can take to treat your fever. He also recommended drinking plenty of fluids and sleeping with your head elevated. This is going to help to relieve some of the fluids that are in your lungs, causing that chesty cough. You turn on the humidifier, climb into bed, and fall into a restless sleep. But you dream of being well soon, because you know that walking pneumonia can be safely treated at home.

The next day, you are still sick, but you keep in mind that your doctor has given you some good medication and that you are able to get some relief from the symptoms with over the counter medications. You begin to relax, knowing that you will soon be over the hardest part of this illness and you will have done it all at home. You may not feel one hundred percent, but you will eventually be back to your regular self.
