Bronchitis
Usually viral: inhalers for wheeze, a steroid if needed, cough control, fluids. Antibiotics only when the exam and history point to a bacterial cause.
Pneumonia
The provider listens to the lungs and checks oxygen. Mild cases in healthy adults can be treated at home with antibiotics and a next-day check. Low oxygen, high fever, older adults or other conditions mean a chest X-ray and often the hospital.
