This is hard to tell. For a young person, if it is bacterial pneumonia, a Penicillin or doxycycline would be reasonable. Often, the infection is viral or if it is recurring, she may need further immunological work up.
for bacterial pneumonia she may need antibiotics. But pneumonia can be caused by viruses too and other causes
