Introduction
Pneumonia is a lung infection caused by bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens. Its main symptoms include cough, expectoration, fever, chest pain, and others. The treatment of pneumonia requires anti-infective therapy targeted at the pathogen, along with symptomatic and supportive treatments. It is recommended to use medications such as ribavirin tablets, acyclovir tablets, and amoxicillin capsules under a doctor's guidance.

Soaking mulberries in white liquor (baijiu) has no direct effect in the treatment of pneumonia and should not be used for this purpose.

Pneumonia is a lung infection caused by bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens. Its main symptoms include coughing, sputum production, fever, and chest pain. Treating pneumonia requires anti-infective therapy targeting the causative pathogens, along with symptomatic and supportive treatments. It is recommended to follow medical advice when using medications such as ribavirin tablets, acyclovir tablets, or amoxicillin capsules.

Although mulberries soaked in white liquor may offer certain health benefits, such as nourishing the liver and kidneys or improving blood circulation and complexion, they do not have the ability to kill bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens, and therefore cannot be used to treat pneumonia.

Patients with pneumonia should seek timely medical attention and follow their doctor's instructions for treatment. It is important not to blindly believe in folk remedies or dietary therapies, which may delay proper treatment. Additionally, maintaining healthy lifestyle and dietary habits to enhance the body's resistance can help prevent pneumonia.
