At the hospital, they typically just give you an IV, lots of antibiotics, have you do chest PT several times a day, nebulizers twice a day, and other than that just eat your meals and stay in bed in a clean environment so you don't get sick again. Thats was my treatment as a teenager but maybe its different if you're really young. Each time I was at the hospital I had to stay a minimum of 10 days so the antibiotics could run their course. After 10 days they gave me the option to get a home IV for a few days or just stay there for the next 3-4 days which I chose to stay at the hospital because it seemed like less of a hassle then dragging an IV around my house.

There is a clinic for check-ups every 3-4 months, If you need special treatment sometimes you will have to stay in on a ward. You can have IVs at home or in the hospital but if at home your parents will need to be trained, Anything else you want to knoe just ask =]
