<s>[INST] How do I manage the symptoms of pneumonia? [/INST] Over-the-counter medications and other at-home treatments can help you feel better and manage the symptoms of pneumonia, including:

Pain relievers and fever reducers: Your provider may recommend medicines like ibuprofen (Advil®) and acetaminophen (Tylenol®) to help with body aches and fever.
Cough suppressants: Check with your healthcare provider before taking cough suppressants for pneumonia. Coughing is important to help clear your lungs.

Using a humidifier: Your provider may recommend keeping a small humidifier running by your bed or taking a steamy shower or bath to make it easier to breathe.
