Sorry to disappoint you, but there is no best drug for pneumonia. Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs, which requires x-ray, or bronchial washngs, or deep sputum for diagnosis. Therefore, head for the hospital and get a proper diagnosis. Many different organisms can cause it, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
Pneumonia can range from mild to severe, and can even be deadly. The severity depends on the type of organism causing pneumonia, as well as your age and underlying health.

Treatment
During the initial treatment of pneumonia, your physician will prescribe a broad spectrum antibiotics and an antiviral drug; because it is very difficult (except in few cases such as mycoplasma or work in pneumonia) to tell the difference. You will continue on these medications until the results of your culture and sensitivity test cones back. Then, a more definitive treatment will be given.
If the cause is bacterial, the doctor will try to cure the infection with antibiotics. If the cause is viral, typical antibiotics will not be effective; your doctor may use antiviral medication.
Patients with mild pneumonia who are otherwise healthy are usually treated with oral macrolide antibiotics (azithromycin, clarithromycin, or erythromycin).
Patients with other serious illnesses, such as heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or emphysema, kidney disease, or diabetes are often given one of the following:
• Fluoroquinolone (levofloxacin (Levaquin), sparfloxacin (Zagam), or gemifloxacin (Factive), moxifloxacin (Avelox)
• High-dose amoxicillin or amoxicillin-clavulanate, plus a macrolide antibiotic (azithromycin, clarithromycin, or erythromycin)
Many people can be treated at home with antibiotics. If you have an underlying chronic disease, severe symptoms, or low oxygen levels, you will likely require hospitalization for intravenous antibiotics and oxygen therapy. [Infants and the elderly are more commonly admitted for treatment of pneumonia].

You can take these steps at home:
• Drink plenty of fluids to help loosen secretions and bring up phlegm.
• Get lots of rest. Have someone else do household chores.
• Control your fever with aspirin or acetaminophen. DO NOT give aspirin to children.
When in the hospital, respiratory treatments to remove secretions may be necessary. Occasionally, steroid medications may be used to reduce wheezing if there is an underlying lung disease.

Again, there is no one best drug for pneumonia
