    Sorry too say Sweety the word Viral means its got to run its course. You treat the infection part with antibiotics and just kind of treat the symptoms,;drain the lungs, lots of fluids keep the fever down by using acetaminophen and then two hours later taking  I B.profen   then two hours later acetaminophen, then two hours later I.B. Profen and just keep rotating every two hours. The biggest thing is draining the lungs or keeping the lungs clear of fluid so the don't drowned in their own mucus. Thats what pneumonia is fluid in the lungs. Keep them coughing and try to break up whats in their lungs so it will come up . 

    First off- - - -go to a Dr. or go to the E.R.  Don't try to treat it yourself.
