There are different approaches for different classes of<unk>  pneumonia. Pneumonitis and bacterial infection require antibiotic therapy, while foreign body<unk>  and mechanical obstruction may need invasive interventions. Chemical pneumonitis must be treated supportively. Immediate clearing of the respiratory tract from aspirated material and fluid by suction must be the first step if the diagnosis of<unk>  is definite. Pharmacologic medical therapy for<unk>  pneumonia includes antibiotics such as ampicillin-sulbactam, amoxicillin-clavulanate, or clindamycin for 7 days. Alternative regimens include combination of metronidazole with penicillin G, amoxicillin, ceftriaxone, or cefotaxime. Positive pressure ventilation with 100% oxygen to support pulmonary function is sometimes required.
