Taking some mineral and vitamin supplements can be effective in boosting your immune system and fighting against bacteria or viruses causing pneumonia. Among these, vitamin C is the best option as it would provide many antioxidant effects. Ideally, you should take anywhere between 1000 and 2000 mg of vitamin C on a daily basis. Also, you would get it from cantaloupe, watermelon, broccoli, citrus juice, citrus fruit, and other veggies or fruits. Zinc is also an essential mineral for treating pneumonia. You should take around 150 mg per day to deal with mild cases of pneumonia. [8]
