Pneumonia
Pneumonia is a respiratory infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs.
Pneumonia can be dangerous for people with weakened immune systems
Pneumonia is usually caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Pneumonia can range from mild to severe, and in some cases, it can be life-threatening, especially in young children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems. When pneumonia occurs, the air sacs in the lungs can become filled with pus and other fluids, making it difficult to breathe.
Our team of experienced healthcare professionals is dedicated to helping you overcome your symptoms and regain your health.
Symptoms
The symptoms of pneumonia can vary depending on the type of pneumonia and the person's overall health. Pneumonia can sometimes lead to complications such as fluid buildup in the lungs or a bacterial infection in the bloodstream.
- Cough, which may produce phlegm or mucus
- Chest pain or discomfort, especially when coughing or breathing deeply
- Shortness of breath, which may be accompanied by rapid breathing or wheezing
- Fatigue or weakness
- Fever, sweating, and shaking chills (in some cases)
How diagnosis is made?
The doctor may ask about your symptoms, such as coughing, fever, and difficulty breathing, and conduct a physical exam to listen to your lungs and check for signs of infection.
Physical Exam
Your doctor will perform a physical exam, including listening to your lungs with a stethoscope to check for abnormal sounds.
Imaging tests
Chest X-rays or computed tomography (CT) scans can show if there are areas of the lungs with inflammation or fluid accumulation.
Laboratory tests
The first step in diagnosing sleep apnea is to get a medical check-up.

Pneumonia is typically treated with a combination of medications and supportive care. Treatment will depend on the severity of the infection, the cause of pneumonia, and the patient's overall health.

If pneumonia is caused by bacteria, antibiotics are the main treatment.
Antiviral medication
If the pneumonia is caused by a virus, antiviral medications may be prescribed.
