pneumonia

Avatar n tn After much hesitation and thought I am going to provide you with specific advice. Of course you should consult your physicians, who will undoubtedly disagree with me. You are entirely correct in viewing the mucus as the problem. The organism causing the trouble (Let's call it"Harvey") is living the good life in what is called a "biofilm". Harvey can exist in a Lugols solution (which kills every known bacteria)in one of these films.
Avatar n tn There is a strain of pneumonia that kills people, it's a serious condition. However, most strains are easily treatable with antibiotics. Be sure to take all your meds, go for that follow up XRay and keep getting XRays until it shows your lungs are clear. Do not smoke if you do or go to places that are smokey. It's going to take you time to recover so relax and take it easy on yourself. If you find your getting worse or not improving be sure to call your doc right away.
Avatar f tn Hi, My grandfather had two strokes last May, causing him disabilities until now - can't sit, talk, eat, walk, etc. We've been feeding him milk through the tube in his nose ever since. I'm worried about his Pneumonia. Yesterday he was admitted to the hospital again - his 3rd time being rushed to the hospital for pneumonia since his stroke last May. Is this normal? I'm really worried. It seems to come and goe like flu.
Avatar n tn (Most HIV infected people who get pneumonia have been seriously ill for several months before pneumonia appears. Pneumonia out of the blue does not suggest HIV.) The "vaginal infections", diarrhea, gingivitis, sinusitis, and your self-diagnosis of enlarged lymph nodes probably are meaningless as well. As to your comment below, whenever a person suspects his or her own symptoms are due to anxiety, s/he usually is correct.
Avatar f tn ve never been on anything stronger than amoxicillin (except once when I was pregnant and had pneumonia...but menstruation wasn't an issue at the time).

An adult can usually fight it off but a simple cold can cause pneumonia in babies. You should also have your spouse or anyone who will be in prime contact also get vaccinated.

Avatar f tn OK, I was on meds for pneumonia and they cleared me right up even tho no pneumonia on x ray. So I gets my x ray, a copy of the report and contact a pulmonologist for an apptment. I goes to the pulmo, gives him my x ray and the report. He gets mad cause the x ray tech read the x ray and gave a diagnosis. Said tech was not allowed to do that. Anyway, he sets me up for a pft, which I take and his tech tells me I have mild emphasema.
Avatar n tn That is what I read too PlateletGal! They just didn't know what they were dealing with.
Avatar m tn 10% of people with bacterial pneumonia died--a horribly high rate, but 90% cleared up. Same for most STDs. The viral STDs, like herpes and HIV, are exceptions; they last for life. (Gonorrhea and chlamydia are bacteria, not viruses.) Symptoms can come and go while the infection persists. You're right--you don't want to rely on the infection going away on its own; before it does, it may cause serious complications, and also can be transmitted to partners. HHH, MD" http://www.

Avatar n tn and a lack of air movement in my lower left lung. She diagnosed me with community acquired pneumonia. I was prescribed Robitussin with codeine to help me sleep, although all it really did was tire me slightly. After another week of feeling completely miserable I started to breath better, my nose dried out, and my cough produced less and less green mucus. Sleeping then was hard, but I was able to take my meds, settle down, sleep for about two hours, wake up again from coughing and repeat.
5601163 tn?1370701672 I recently underwent a two week course of Levaquin for pneumonia. On the follow-up visit with my doctor, a chest x-ray showed "right basilar opacity," which caused my doctor to order a CT scan. What does this mean?
Avatar m tn 9 year old daughter was diagnosed with pneumonia last night. Now she is complaining that she is having lower back pain. Is this kidney infection?
Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar f tn Have anyone started feeling dizzy, weak and hard to breath sitting or standing but OK laying down while taking medicine for pneumonia and how long do it last or should I go back to the ER.
Avatar n tn I was feeling pretty bad coughing wheezing, bad chest pain. My friend and I diagnosed it as brochitis or pneumonia so I took 7 Levaquin, one a day for 7 days (had it in the house). Still felt bad after a week or so and went to my doctor who prescribed same Levaquin 500 mg for 7 days. My doctor ordered chest xrays and blood work. Blood work was just a little off she said not sure what was high or low as this was told to me over the phone.
