Pneumonia is very common and affects millions of American’s each year. Pneumonia is a life threatening lung infection that’s symptoms cover fever, chills, coughing, mucus, sweating, fatigue, headaches, chest pain and shortness of breath. Symptom severity depends on age and the state of the person’s immune system. Pneumonia occurs when germs and bacteria invade the lungs and air spaces with fluid. Breathing is harder due to the fluid and inflammation of the air spaces, which causes the persistent cough.
Pneumonia is an infection that can be formed from bacteria or a virus. Often if in bacteria form a doctor will prescribe antibiotics to cure the lung infection. Pneumonia can be treated at home and usually lasts between two and three weeks. It is crucial to drink plenty of fluids, rest, and to keep the fever under control. If symptoms are severe enough or you suffer from another disease get checked into the hospital immediately.
Prevention of Pneumonia consists of washing your hands thoroughly, staying away from people who are sick, and even by getting pneumococcal vaccine. Stay away from smoking, the tobacco damages your lung’s ability to fight off infection. Even go as far as wearing a mask during cleaning. This prevents a person from inhaling dust or mold. A lung x-ray can determine if a person has Pneumonia. A doctor may also listen to abnormal breathing sounds with a stethoscope.
