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.

Avatar f tn My husband is a twenty-six-year-old middle school teacher and when he came home on Friday after school he was pale, a bad headache, had clammy skin, body aches and chest congestion. Since then it's only worsened: he can't breathe full breaths, he doesn't cough a lot but when he does he gets chest pains & usually clear mucus, but sometimes it's green. He's going back & forth between a fever of just over 100 and shaking chills where he can't seem to get warm.
Avatar f tn I am not a doctor but I have Googled your question and this is what I found: "Pneumonia in children and adults is caused by bacteria, virus, fungi or protozoa. Out of these, bacteria are the most common microorganisms, that have been found to cause pneumonia. These microorganisms usually enter the body through mouth, nose and eyes, and then infect the lungs, especially the air sacs or alveoli of the lungs. Pneumonia is more commonly found to affect the lower lobes of the lungs.

She is becoming resistant to antibiotics and we are very frightened for her.

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.

Avatar n tn t say a word other than to be careful driving home. They sent me home. On the seventh day, I could not take the pain any longer. I called my doctor and was informed that the x-rays showed no pneumonia and to discontinue the meds. By late afternoon, I could not do anything without being in pain so I had a friends drive me to the ER. Once at the ER, a nurse took the whole bag of my rescent prescriptions and threw them away while I was in the waiting room. I finally got to see the doctor.
Avatar n tn My 12 year old daughter was diagnosed with swine flu back in October...doc sent her home and said she would be fine even though I insisted there was more to it...her breathing was shallow and her chest hurt, 3 days later she ended up in icu...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...
Avatar f tn I had the flu (a long with my husband and children) we were all really sick for about 5 days. Everyone got over it except for me. I don't feel like it is the flu now though. I have a horrible cough. So 5 days ago I went to the Urgent Care and Dr said probably pneumonia. She gave me antibiotics, prednisone, and albuterol. It has been 5 days. The fevers are just higher. They dont even get better with ibuprofen. I can't function. I have small kids. I feel to sick to drive to the doctor.
Avatar n tn Perhaps your oxygen levels are lower than your norm...do you have a pulse oximeter at home to check? That could also explain how you feel. I can't think of anything else to add...I hope that this helps.
Avatar f tn Yes you can.I have it right now from the powdered litter in the air. My Dr.is sure of it, because of the test results.
Avatar f tn I had the same situation before but just a pneumonia bilateral not covid pneumonia. Are you feeling fine now? Based on my research on pneumonia, the person having it usually recovers for about 6 months. That is totally normal coz you're still on process of healing your lungs and our body is recovering from the illness due to pneumonia. Until now I am having the urge of taking deep breaths and still working on it until my breathing is normal.
