cold vs pneumonia symptoms

A simple cold can easily become pneumonia in these people. That is why it is important to stay away from them if you have any symptoms of an infection because they can get so sick very quickly. I hope that this helps..

I have had a bad since cold for like 3 weeks now I'm about 8 weeks pregnant and I've tried ever tylenol product and nothing helps with the cough can anymore recommended anything else.

WHAT SYMPTOMS SHOULD I LOOK FOR that indicate that this cold could turn into VIRAL PNEUMONIA??? since my lungs and immune system are weakenned....

Influenza viruses can cause a common cold or flu, leading a healthy individual to take a few days or a week off work. However, the flu can exacerbate existing health conditions such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, and inflammatory disorders, leading to severe complications for individuals over 65 with a weakened immune system.

I think it sounds more like pneumonia than quitting smoking which I have done and did not feel dizzy or other symptoms you mention. Pneumonia is hell. I have worn a patch in the past then taken it off without symptoms. Not sure I have been much help but have tried, best wishes, Nicky.

But it is usually a result of some other kinda bug thats not treated resulting in that it causes fluid on the lungs, which takes a while to turn into pneumonia. If you arnt having symptoms of the original chest cold, or flu your fine.

I think you are wondering if you have a cold or is this pneumonia? The recent symptoms sound like a cold because of the stuffy head and sinuses . Those symptoms are not like pneumonia. I just want you to be careful about the possibility of relapsing or not being over the pneumonia. Since you were winded on Sunday and sound fatigued. So be careful and if you feel worse see the doctor. He has you on the right drug and your pulse ox was normal.

I have had cold symptoms for 2 weeks now. It started out sore throat, then went into nasal congestion. I thought I was getting better and it felt like it was clearing up. Well, last night I woke up and had a really sore throat and body aches, and I having been feeling this way all day today too. With the sore throat and body aches though I have started havng neck and ear pain when I swallow.

My chest x ray results found out that there are haziness on my left middle lung which resulted to Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) vs Pneumonia. What does it mean? I really need the advice to start my work soon. I don't feel sick, I don't have cough and cold but sometimes I feel like there's sometjing in my throat and that I have to clear it before speaking. When I spit the phlegm it has clear color. Please it makes me nervous. Can I cure it?

t a specific diagnosis of what caused the pneumonia. Most pneumonia is infectious, and is most times caused by strep bacteria, so they throw antibiotics at it, and see how the patient responds, there are more aggressive atypical bacterial pneumonia that may require more aggressive treatment, also a persons age, and strength of their immune system is a major factor as well. But there are also viral, fungal, or less commonly parasitic causes of pneumonia.

I am 21 weeks pregnant and am getting a cold. Any tips on how to treat it without taking any medication??

I was happy that atleast problem is being diagnosed and I will be alright. For more than 5 years I have intolerance to cold, but last two years I have started having fever and lot of other symptoms which all directed that I really have hypothyroid. When I started my medication, I felt as if I got a new life as I was not feeling cold any more and my fever also went away. I was feeling good in everyway.

With just what you listed I would say you just have a cold. Since pneumonia involves the lungs, you would have more symptoms dealing with the lungs.

Could it be pneumonia?

I am a 35 y-o- male and for the past 7 weeks now I have been having strange symptoms like nausea, dizziness (extreme at times), headache behind the eye and sensitivity to light, joint/muscle aches and stiffness mostly in hands and feet but occassionally like a full body flu-type attack, weakness in wrists, cold feet and hands that feel like they are plunged in ice water when i am seating in the office, constant feeling of cold so that I just can't get warm, occasional hot flashes and chills,

The flu has passed epidemic rates in much of the country, and if you don't have a cold, I'm sure you have a friend who has the sniffles, fever, chills, aches and pains of a viral upper respiratory infection. This is different from a bacterial infection such as sinusitis, bronchitis, or pneumonia. A viral infection doesn't improve with antibiotics as these infections do. A virus hijacks your own body's healthy cells and uses it to reproduce and spread.
