Pneumonia is a lung disease. This condition can infect the upper respiratory tract and can spread to the blood, lungs, middle ear, or nervous system.

According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infections Diseases, "Pneumococcus is spread through contact between people who are ill or who carry the bacteria in their throat. You can get pneumococcal pneumonia from respiratory droplets from the nose or mouth of an infected person. It is common for people, especially children, to carry the bacteria in their throats without being sick."

Pneumonia can't be treated with herbal remedies only.

Successful treatment requires use of antibiotics. The remedies given below can be combined with antibiotics for better results.

This condition may begin suddenly. You may first have a severe shaking chill which is usually followed by:

• High fever
• Cough
• Shortness of breath
• Rapid breathing
• Chest pains

Other symptoms may include:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Headache
• Tiredness
• Muscle aches

Here are some herbal remedies for pneumonia to help achieve better health (along with antibiotic treatment):
