Avatar n tn If you have a virus that resulted in pneumonia, while allopathic medicine has little in the way of anti-virals, there are plants that have anti-viral properties. Olive leaf and elderberry are two examples. Herb Pharm makes a tincture that helps with virus control. That being said, though, and assuming this is viral in nature, once you have pneumonia you have progressed significantly through the viral process already and the more important thing is clearing the lungs.
Avatar f tn 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 n tn iam just geting over pneumonia and i have started getting joint pain.
Avatar n tn Every other year for 15 years I would have either pneumonia or bronchitis. I would be given antibiotics for relief. I had always been sensitive to temperature or weather changes. Whenever I sweat, if the sweat dried up on my back, I would easily develop a sore cough or cold. In 2001 a CT scan revealed a 12 mm-nodule. My doctor told me I had nasal drippings; he gave me a nose spray.
Avatar n tn Buddy was diagnosed with pneumonia and has gone through a course of doggy antibiotics and 3 courses of human antibiotics. The right lung is full of fluid. He would get better, then be energetic and get worse. It was suggested that he may not have pneumonia but CHF. Is there anything to do to help him. The vet doesn't seem to have any suggestions. Would a diuretic help? He's starting to not eat now.
Avatar f tn My step son has pneumonia and I'm 11 weeks and 5 days. I'm the only one home to take care of him today. He's only 4 years old so I bought masks and lysol, hand sanitizer and took vitamin C. I'm really worried I'm going to catch it. Is there anything else I should be doing to prevent it? Thanks.
Avatar m tn No rescue drugs. Caught pneumonia once. Took D3 2000 daily and b-complex vitamins. Worked out as much as I could. Lost 20 lbs, lost my curls. 28 wks tx. UND at weeks 6,8,12,24 and 28. Now 3 months after tx, I have maintained my weight, hit the gym as much as possible, labs all back to normal and feel 15 years younger.
Avatar m tn I just completed a 48 week treatment with Victrellis, Riboviran and PegIntron....Except for developing Pneumonia, all went better than expected.....never held up treatment or changed doses throughout. Thanks,.
Avatar n tn Hi bibban12, The thing about pneumonia is it's just a broad term for lung inflammation, and the air sacs filling up with fluid, but it isn't a specific diagnosis of what caused the pneumonia.
1401023 tn?1280781358 t very knowledgeable in regards to mycoplasmas and their treatment, treatment is much like lymes disease. google mycoplasma pneumonia & myco arthritis http://ajrccm.atsjournals.org/cgi/reprint/200905-0704OCv1.pdf low dose, short duration of prednisone helps too...along w/vitamins such as collodial silver, oregano oil, vit d, vit b, selenium avoid alcohol, smoke, dust, pollution etc..
Avatar n tn Im going to begin treatment in about a month and I am wondering what herbs and vitamins people have used while ON treatment? And thoughts on do you think they helped you either feel better and possibly clear faster....etc.. Any of your thoughts would be appreciated. Is there a list of herbs to take somewhere on this forum?

Avatar m tn I took a second x-ray showing my lungs are clear of any pneumonia infection. This was 3 weeks ago but now I'm still feeling ill. No cough is present and I'm not as sick as I was with pneumonia but I still feel fatigued. Is it pneumonia all over again or some other infection. I seem to have a sore throat also now.

Avatar m tn The question is whether I should continue the interferon treatment when I am fighting the pneumonia. Your kind advice is very much appreciated. Many thanks. I myself has also had bronchiectasis (at lingular) though the pneumonia this time is at right lobe.

Avatar n tn Bacterial or viral lung infection can precipitate asthma with wheezing in a person genetically predisposed to asthma. Treatment of the presumed asthma, aside from treatment of the infectious pneumonia, is appropriate. So, this could be asthma, superimposed on pneumonia. Your son could have whooping cough, despite immunization against it. If his fever and sweating with clammy skin has subsided, it is probably a sign that the antibiotic therapy has been effective and the pneumonia is clearing.
1722607 tn?1335747858 What are good vitamins/supplements to take? I'm not in treatment yet, and wanted to know what I can take while waiting to treat. I've heard people mention milk thistle. What about vitamin c or d?
Avatar n tn I recently had my puppy who was less than 2 years old pass away from aspiration pneumonia. I tried everything from antibiotics to oxygen therapy and nebulization treatment. Unfortunately, he just couldn't handle it and 3 days later he was gone. I've been thinking about it the last couple of months and trying to understand what aspiration pneumonia is and how it caused his death. The vet explained to me that aspiration pneumonia is an infection that can feel like a chemical burn.
759034 tn?1234087700 Two weeks after the tests she got pneumonia again. Even after the pediasure and the vitamins, she had not gained weight in the 2 weeks. I told him that she had not had a bile movement in 10 days, and he didn't seem too concerned. He suggested a laxative after she recovered from the pneumonia. Here we are about a week after the bout with pneumonia, and it has been about 2 weeks since her last bile movement.
Avatar f tn If you feel the flu going deep into your lungs, get to the doctor because that can mean pneumonia. Build your body back up by taking vitamins and eat well. Your body needs nutrition to rebuild itself and stay away from junk foods.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosted with COPD Stage II in 2009, it had been well controlled with meds, diet and exercise. Needless to say I was diagnosted with pneumonia and stayed 4 more days in hospital then moved to rehab for 2 1/2 more weeks. All this time I have been on 24/7 oxygen and doesn't look as if I'm ever going to get off of it. Almost all my meds have stopped working (spiriva, symbicort, advair, etc.
Avatar m tn My 4 yr. old son was diagnosed with walking pneumonia after getting hives on his face 2 days in a row. At first we thought it was an allergy we couldn't put our finger on because he has an allergy to dairy and sesame. But he hadn't come in contact with either one. Once our pediatrician examined him she said the hives were from walking pneumonia. He is on the third day of antibiotics but hives are still appearing on his face. They go away within the hour without any treatment.

Avatar f tn you need to go to the Doctor and find out why you are having trouble taking a deep breath and then depending on what the diagnosis is that will depend on what treatment you receive For example of you have pneumonia then the treatment would be antibiotics and maybe other stuff life steroids and breathing treatments, I'm not saying that's what you have though the only way to know what is going on is to get checked out by your MD Hope you feel better soon
Avatar f tn Dear Pizmo9, Treatment for cancer can put you at increased risk for conditions such as pneumonia. The decision as to when to resume radiation therapy should be be made in consultation with your radiation oncologist who will advise based on your overall clinical condition.
250701 tn?1320974765 Sorry haven't been around, I have been sick for two weeks now. Went to the Dr. they gave me antibiotics, but they failed to take an xray. Come to find out Monday they took an xray and I have pneumonia. I have been home all week. Now I get to take my shot tonight and I hope it don't wipe out my immune system to bad. Dr. had to put my ribo back down to 400 until I get well. Well I'll let you know what happens tomorrow.
