pneumonia

242516 tn?1368223905 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. A bacteria is its own living cell and multiplies and spreads on its own and is easier to destroy in that process.
Avatar n tn i tested negative 5 months post exposure. i recently developed pneumonia and i read on the internet that thats an early indication of an infection? any truth? please help. i thought i was done with worrying.
Avatar m tn Any ill effects on getting two shots of pneumonia vaccine within 3 years, I am unable to find anything on the net regarding this, please help. Thanks...
Avatar f tn My question is are there any guidelines/protocol for stopping tx if your ALT/AST reaches 150 each even though you are UND? Mine have been consistently rising each week and today, week 25, my AST=130 and ALT=124. My Hepa Dr said we would have to stop tx if they both reach 150. I cannot find any information on this anywhere. So any help would be greatly appreciated!
620048 tn?1358018235 I was given some guidelines to help prevent the pneumonia and the acid reflux...evidently I didnt do so good and got the pneumonia. I am doing very well now, nothing like a slap in the head to get me going. I am eating correctly now, even if I am overdoing it its fine. I will do anything to get rid of this. I have never used steriods for a flare..think it might help?
Avatar f tn Insurance companies are hiding behind IDSA guidelines as supported by the CDC, this is a FACT period no discussion necessary. The IDSA guidelines have everything to do with current Lyme disease treatments. Wiki entries can be written by anyone, perhaps you need more research to be a real voice in this discussion!
Avatar f tn My husband had flu and pneumonia April of 2017. Had xrays taken by his rheumatologist in Aug 2017 and there was a shadow on his lower right lobe where the pneumonia was. On the 6th of this month (Dec) a follow up xray was taken and two days after they called and said the radiologist recommended a no contrast ct scan. So (two days ago which would have been the 11th) we made an appointment to have it done on the 18th of Dec. Today they called and now want to do the contrast. What is going on?
Avatar n tn sometimes this can be a sign of pneumonia, you will not have a produtive cough most of the time and youll have fever, go see your MD Monday and take fever reducers until then
620048 tn?1358018235 My pneumonia has returned, i am not quite sure what I am asking but I know the asperation pneumonia is from the MS and just wondering if I can get more information from someone.... possibly someone else has this issue..
Avatar f tn My question is, how much longer before he loses his ability to swallow? He has aspirated a few times, but no pneumonia, even though there is fluid in his lungs. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me, any time guidelines, though I know each case is different. I have children and a very stressful job and live far away, and it is hard to be there until close to his death. Thank you all so much.
Avatar n tn How can I prevent it from recurring into pneumonia? Can I do something right now so the cold will not develop into pneumonia? What am I doing wrong?
Avatar f tn t have any sign of the virus but I still have antibodies. Doc said the virus can hide and the antibodies can hang around for months after the virus is gone, so bottom line I don't know yet, will be retested in Feb. I stopped tx after 8 months because I had pneumonia for 6 weeks and after that some kind of infection every month. Just could not take it any longer. Thought I'd bounce back right away and am really down and out that I still feel so bad.
Avatar m tn A woman was in the hospital with pneumonia a couple of days prior to her giving me oral sex. Am assuming they put her on meds. with her being on meds what is the possibility she was still contagious, which she never told me she had it. For a couple of days My urine flow was frequent, like peeing thru a straw and small white discharge. I have none of those symptoms now but am still concerned.
Avatar m tn Foamy clear/white mucus lasting for this long is a likely sign you could have pneumonia, as far as a cure; you first need to see a doctor as soon as possible to determine the cause and the proper treatment.
Avatar f tn t tell if I have acid reflux or pneumonia or what. Is white foamy phlegm (that comes mostly after eating)a sign of pneumonia though? What issue do my symptoms match up with and what's the best course of treatment? So far I went to a doctor a week ago and she said I had restrictive airway disease and just prescribed a Qvar inhaler to take twice a day and Ventolin for a rescue inhaler.
Avatar n tn However, a week later he presented with a high fever, wheezing, rattling sound when breathing and they diagnosed bacterial pneumonia. They gave him albuterol nebulizer treatments and zithromax. The next day we were back at the doctor and he had been experiencing severe coughing fits that led to vomiting and sweating, as well as clammy skin, and he was continuing to have a lot of wheezing sound in his lungs, despite the albuterol treatments.
Avatar n tn Get checked for Bronchitis and Pneumonia. That sounds EXACTLY the symptoms I had when I contracted Pneumonia and I waited a long while before getting checked and it got very bad. Do not wait to seek medical treatment.
Avatar f tn i have been showing signs of pneumonia lately and also felt a small bum under my armpit but cannot see anything. what i want to know is can the axillary lymph node be linked to pneumonia because usually i hear it swells in the neck? i also was using doxycycline 100 mg and septra for chlamydia. its kinda strange how pneumonia just popped up a while after my chlamydia and cleared up. i am really freaking out im going for a test today.
1444593 tn?1284397979 At first it helped but now he seems to be coughing more and he has a runny nose again and the snot is green which is a sign of infection right? He sounds like he is trying to hack up a nasty goober. Sorry of that is TMI but that is the best I can describe it. Is this normal?
Avatar m tn If that is correct, the course of your illness is consistent with what is called, Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP -- pneumonia acquired when not hospitalized). There are many causes of pneumonia (bacteria, fungi, viruses, chemical or organic irritants) and, even with extensive bacteriologic testing the specific cause is often not determined. The information you have provided, including the imaging studies (X-ray and CT) provides no clues as to the cause of your pneumonia.
Avatar f tn I also changed my diet for gerd guidelines and avoid all asthma triggers. Please help with any advice.
Avatar n tn diagnosed with septic shock due to bilateral pneumonia with complications of a right sided pleural effusion. We almost lost her but luckily the doctor drained enough fluid to help her breath on her own again. After 5 days in icu she was placed on peds...the next day the fluids came back and she was placed on a chest tube for over a week. On November 10 the last x-ray showed the fluid was gone...so i thought...they removed her tube and sent her home the same da.
