Common Questions and Answers about Pneumonia in hospital patients
pneumonia
It was repaired two days later. She suffered aspiration pneumonia and a UTI fungal infection in the hospital. She was finally transferred to a rehabiliation center after being in the hospital for 4 weeks. In the rehab center, they told us she now has MRSA pneumonia. What are her chances of overcoming all of this? She is on a trach and at times seems very coherent. How much longer do we let her endure all of this? She never says she's in pain or uncomfortable.
I'm a 32 year old male in Canada. I'm 185lb,5'9". I've had a dull chest pain on my left side right under my armpit area and around to the center of the chesty for the past 4 months. I've been ignoring it as it was such a dull pain I'd almost call it a sensation instead of pain.
So I had the flu last week as did my whole family. I was hit hard, very weak, major headache, neck and back ache, fever. Never developed much coughing but felt a bit phlegm.
My baby has been diagnosed with pneumonia, a week ago. She still acts as if she is in pain, and has short rapid breaths. She is on Zeniquin, and a pain med. She was originally in an oxygen kennel for 2 days, and was pretty good when we brought her home. Now it seems like she gets these bouts of gasping for air, her gums are still pink.
I am startin to think her vets arent sure what is wrong with her.
It is a shame that meds are so expensive, I am lucky to have help otherwise I would either not eat or take my meds. I took care of many patients who came into the hospital with exacerbations from their diseases. Many cases were because they could not afford the meds that would keep their diseases in check. Unfortunately, docs would label them "non-compliant" because they weren't taking their meds.
You may need to even just get admitted to the hospital for a week or so, and get things under control again, some patients have a really hard time shaking pneumonia, and need supportive treatment. But first figuring out what pathogen or lack there of caused the pneumonia would be the best, and then go from there. I hope you get better soon, take care.
Hi, I am a 22 year old woman, I don`t smoke, I was treated with levaquin for community acquired pneumonia for a little more than a month (horrible side effects), I was in the hospital 3 times,for 5 days in two of them (the second one was a relapse) and only ER the third one. What is unnusual for me is that the last hospital diagnosed me acute bronchitis and the other ones pneumonia,(the gap between the 2nd and the third hospital was 2 weeks, is this logical???).
I ended up in the hospital yesterday because I cut myself deeply with a knife. While I was waiting to be seen I noticed quite a few other patients that were bleeding as well. I read in the forums that HIV can be transmitted through two bleeding wounds that would require stitches, that mine did. I did my best to avoid the other patients, but I was always in close proximity to them. One patient was bleeding from the back of his head.
First time, the doctor noted traces of pneumonia in his chest and gave him Amox for 10 days. He was fine for another 10 days and got it back. This time, he got better only with IV antibiotics. He was ok for another 10 months with on and off colds, but this time he developed pneumonia again and had to be treated with oral antibiotics. I want to know if there is anyway to help prevent reccurence of pneumonia? Will there be any damage to his lungs because of reccurence of pneumonia?
Mortality from influenza is increased in patients with cirrhosis. Therefore, these patients should receive annual injections of influenza vaccine. During flu season cirrhotics are part of the high risk groups that are given priority for obtaining the vaccine.
As far as other levels of liver disease or treatment, there is no standard recommending all of these vaccinations. Obviously they can't hurt. As you will never have to worry about becoming infected with these viruses.

Also important is the severity of the Bronchomalacia, that can vary from mild to very severe. What the pulmonologist may have observed may be mild Bronchomalacia in the final stages of resolution. These are questions you should ask of the pulmonologist. I assume that she is a Pediatric Pulmonologist and should be able to answer your questions.
The following statements are taken from The Kliegman-Nelson Textbook of Pediatric Medicine and, I believe, support reason for optimism.
A couple of questions--How long was your father in the hospital (is he still in the hospital)? What was his health like before the surgery; did he have other health problems? How old is he? Did the doctors say there were any problems or complications with the surgery?
From what I understand, in this part of the US where we live, most patients are in the hospital for 4 to 7 days after bypass (if the surgery goes well without any problems or complications.
