Yes, it's a "blood pressure cuff".
A really bad case of pneumonia will be accompanied usually by a racking cough and a high fever. Unless the patient has a history of penicillin alergy, the quick treatment is a shot of penicillin in the doctor's office and then a prescription for oral antibiotic, such as ampicilin. Also asprin or tylenol is prescribed for the fever. The fever should drop within 24 hours.
Now this may be a little out of date since it is based on my taking the kids into the doctor.
