Common Questions and Answers about Pneumonia symptoms no cough

pneumonia

Avatar f tn It sounds like a cold virus, but you could have Mycoplasma or Chlamydia pneumonia? You can have some tightness with that and low grade or no fever. Usually, you have a dry cough and sometimes can have pain in the rib area and dry cough. It lasts about 1-2 months and usually follows a cold or flu. Sometimes it is resistant to some antibiotics. But it often goes away on its own. They call it "walking pneumonia." Did your CT come back yet?
Avatar f tn Pneumonia is funky and doesn't always follow the classic path. My younger son had pneumonia and I had no idea because he wasn't coughing. He had fevers. On and off fevers. One day fever, stay home from school, fine. Then back to school, another phone call from school that he had a fever. Stay home the next day. Then back to school and ANOTHER call that he had a fever! That's when I took him to the doctors and he was diagnosed with pneumonia. No cough!!
994239 tn?1321203620 I can feel pain pretty bad especially when I breathe in. I have had high fevers, chills, and all but NO cough and NO phlegm whatsoever. The Pneumonia was diagnosed on a chest xray. Does it mean anything if I simply do not cough and have no desire to? Doesn't that infection have to come out somehow? Or can it just be that the pneumonia is only causing inflammation with no phlegm?
Avatar m tn You are very confident in those test. Swollen lymph nodes, rashes, aphthous ulcer, rasping breath sounds and a very dry irritating cough, tiredness etc. doesn't look like suspicious to you. OK, I don't expect that you will say "Ooh you have those symptoms, you are positive." No! Actually I was only asked a question about PCP pneumonia. Can someone have PCP pneumonia for 3 months without temperature?
Avatar m tn - sore throat, tightness of breathing, chesty cough, then feverm then a worsened chesty cough but NO blocked nose at all. i went to doctors he said a virus was causing my cough but now i am worried incase it could be HIV. the reason being that after i had ejaculated i kept on having sex for several moments and now im afraid the condom may have burst because ive heard this increases the chances of doing so. i also had herpes present on my penis at the time.
Avatar n tn Would carinii pneumonia present itself with just a minor cough and congestion and no fever, no rash or other symptoms. In other words is this type of pneumonia something that is more severe? I have not had an exposure to someone with HIV, but I have allowed myself to receive oral sex on occasion from guys that I did not know their HIV status.
Avatar n tn You also need to wait until your child is cured from pneumonia as it can produce asth alike symptoms such as breathlessness and a cough. I personally have severe asthma and am currently suffering from pneumonia.
Avatar n tn Hello & welcome to the forum......Since the Antibiotics don't seem to be effective, I'm thinking this sounds more like "Kennel Cough" Or "Canine Influenza" which are both Viruses.....They have a lot of the same symptoms, but Kennel cough is the one most commonly diagnosed..... Each of these viruses can last up to anywhere from 2-4 weeks..... A Month is Common.....Both of these can also turn into Pneumonia....
Avatar n tn Hi, I am a 29 year old female, healthy weight, never smoked and beside this issue no other medical history. I have had a chronic cough and throat clearing for three years that brings up small amounts of clear sputum.
Avatar f tn t have pneumonia? Do you have a cough? There is something called pleurisy which can hurt your lungs when you breathe, but both pneumonia and pleurisy are accompanied by a cough. Behind your lungs are your kidneys, is it possible that when you breathe your lungs are hurting your kidneys? Therefore it would feel like your lungs hurting but it's not. Just an idea if the doc is ruling out lung problems.
Avatar n tn My 11-year-old daughter was diagnosed with mycoplasma pneumonia after having a cough for about 2 months. She is now infection-free but the cough persists. Both her pediatrician and allergist say the cough is simply a habit. However, she complains of feeling as if there's something in her throat that she's unable to cough up.
Avatar m tn Long term coughing with no other symptoms could be a sign of pneumonia. Though pneumonia often has other symptoms, its not uncommon to have only a cough. I would recommend going to a doctor or urgent care to get antibacterial medicine if that is the case. Pneumonia is not something to treat likely. Of course it is also possible you just have some sort of virus, but since its been a month now I think its to the point of getting it checked. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.
Avatar n tn I was prescribed azithromycin and told to continue with my xopenex and prednisone. I also took cough syrup, sudafed and motrin. Saturday I was significantly worse and over the weekend it esciladed. My temperature would go from 96.2 to 100.5 and back down over a 30min period. Monday I went back to the doctor and she heard "crackling" and a lack of air movement in my lower left lung. She diagnosed me with community acquired pneumonia.
Avatar f tn The last CT Scan showed some spots looking better and others looking worse. I still have a cough with no other symptoms except for occasional greenish phlem in small amounts. The pneumonia seemed to have cleared up months ago. My pulmanologist has prescribed various inhalers and nothing has helped. I have no shortness of breath, just a cough, sometimes dry, sometimes rattling. What could these spots be and what could be causing the cough?
1321692 tn?1304298071 I know that whopping cough is more common in children, but to me it sounds more like whopping cough than the pneumonia and bronchitis that I have been diagnosed with. Does it sound like pneumonia, bronchitis, whopping cough, or something else? Thank you for your help.
Avatar m tn I've gone through ambien withdrawal - my kind doctor gave me a six month supply of 20mg (double dosage) and assured me it was not addictive and would help me sleep. I went through absolute HELL getting off of that, and almost died. Ambien is a drug from HELL, as are those that prescribe it like candy...but that is another story. I quit ALL drugs last summer, even though all I took was the prescription poison my Doctor assured me would make everything all better...
Avatar f tn Yes I did tell them. The pneumonia symptoms are starting to clear up I don't have a fever, never had a cough, starting to breathe better, and I have a lot more energy but still a bit light headed and throat is kind of sore and my voice hasn't return fully. I have been tested will get the results tomorrow.
Avatar f tn Yes “walking pneumonia” is contagious. The development of more symptoms, in the face of antibiotic therapy, is worrisome as is the “side pain” which I assume to be pleurisy and suggests that this infection may fall into the category of complicated pneumonia. In this circumstance you should definitely request careful reevaluation by your doctor or his designate to include at a minimum a repeat chest X-ray, a complete blood count and culture of your sputum.
Avatar f tn if not then it might just be cold drs will worry if the baby develops a fever or bad cough.
Avatar f tn I wasn't sure where to ask this question because there wasn't a category for walking pneumonia or upper respiratory infection , so here it goes anyway. Ok, so Last week on februrary the 2nd I got a sore throat, the next day I had a runny nose and felt like **** for a few days after that and then I developed a cough, I went to the doctor and he said I had upper respiratory infection (bronchitis)..
Avatar n tn He has had NO other symptoms. No fever, no runny nose, no sore throat, no lethargy, perfect appetite, sleeping well, full of energy, his normal busy bustling self. Took him to the doctor yesterday and she listened to his lungs, said they sounded fine and clear (no need for X-ray or anything), O2 sat was 100%, normal BP etc, though she said she saw something in the back of his throat that might indicate a postnasal drip (however, he hasn't complained of a sore throat).
