Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that is caused due to certain bacteria, or less commonly, viruses. The treatment could require antibiotics, the choice of which depends upon the suspected causative agent. The splenic enlargement could be a sign of certain infections but it is hard to comment on this from such little details. If you post a premium question with the relevant details surely I would try to help you out and indicate the exact choice of medications based on the details you provide.
