You can take adequate water in pneumonia. High calories is a must for patients down with pneumonia, to supply energy to the body to perform vital activities such as normal breathing, which is impaired during pneumonia. Butter, milkshakes, custard, and puddings, are dietary options for persons suffering from this disease.
