Penicillin G is the first choice for pneumococcal pneumonia. Allergy can be selected from other categories. Mild cases are treated with oral drops for 5 - 7 days. Special people need to pay attention to it. Pneumococcal pneumonia is pulmonary inflammation caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae infection. Antibiotic treatment is the main treatment method. The following is a detailed introduction on how to use antibiotics for pneumococcal pneumonia: 1. Choose the appropriate antibiotics: Streptococcus pneumoniae is sensitive to penicillin G, so penicillin G is the drug of choice for the treatment of pneumococcal pneumonia. If you are allergic to penicillin G, you can choose antibiotics such as cephalosporins, macrolides or fluoroquinolones. The general course of treatment is 5 - 7 days, but for some special groups, such as the elderly, immunocompromised, etc., the course of treatment may need to be extended to 10 days. 4. Precautions: During the use of antibiotics treatment, it is necessary to pay attention to the side effects of drugs, such as allergic reactions, gastrointestinal reactions, etc. At the same time, it is necessary to take the medicine on time according to the doctor's advice. Do not stop or increase or decrease the dose. In summary, antibiotic treatment of pneumococcal pneumonia needs to be individualized according to the specific conditions of the patient, and it is necessary to pay attention to the side effects and use methods of the drug. During the treatment process, patients need to closely cooperate with the doctor's treatment, take the medicine on time, and review regularly to ensure the treatment effect. Special care is required when antibiotics are given to certain groups, such as the elderly, pregnant women, children, and people with underlying diseases. These groups may be vulnerable to adverse reactions due to poor tolerance to the drug. Therefore, before antibiotics are given, the doctor will conduct a detailed evaluation of the patient and adjust the dosage and treatment plan according to the patient's specific conditions.

At the same time, patients also need to closely observe the body reaction during the use of antibiotics, and inform the doctor in time if discomfort occurs.
