Sipping on some ginger tea might be useful in loosening up your mucus and speeding up the recovery from pneumonia. This ingredient contains a lot of antiviral properties that can fight against bacteria or viruses causing the condition. Also, some analgesic effects would reduce pain. While bagged or loose ginger teas are available in most grocery stores, you can make your own tea with raw ginger. Just add it to boiling water and steep for 10 minutes before sipping slowly. To get the best results, drink several cups during the day. Ginger is a safe option for children and pregnant women. [12]
