Answer:

The antibiotics should be taken correctly, respecting the times of take, the doses and the days of the treatment; otherwise the bacteria could not be eliminate and develop the disease again.

Explanation:

    Pneumonia is an infection that settle in the lungs. They may affect the region of the pulmonary alveoli where the terminal branches of the bronchi and sometimes the interstices (space between one alveolus and the other) emerge.  Basically, pneumonia is caused by the penetration of an infectious or irritating agent (bacteria, viruses, fungi and allergic reactions) into the alveolar space, where gas exchange occurs. This location should always be very clean, free of substances that could prevent air from contacting the blood.  Some symptoms of the disease are: high fever, dry or yellowish or greenish cough, shortness of breath and difficulty breathing.

   Treatment of pneumonia requires the use of antibiotics and improvement usually occurs within three or four days.

If the person begins to feel better and discontinues the treatment, theres a high chance for the bacteria to return with more resistance to the body, and may even aggravate the initial situation. The drug kills nonresistant bacteria, left over resistant ones.  So its important to not interrupt the treatment.
