Avatar n tn Hi, Brain injured patients may receive rehabilitation that involves individually tailored treatment programs in the areas of physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech/language therapy, physiatry, psychology, and social support. A complete physical and neurological examination is needed in each treatment program. It would be best to discuss which treatment option is best for you with your doctor for proper evaluation and management. Take care and keep us posted.

Avatar f tn http://www.buzzle.com/articles/acute-pneumonia.html It is your doctor or Radiotherapist who should say what you are to do now, if you continue with radiation while on meds for pneumonia or if you do something else. Said doctors are the only ones who should tell you what to do. Please don't make any decisions on your own. Take care and get well.
Avatar n tn 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. You should ask his doctor if she believes him to truly be clinically improved, with signs of recovery. If there is any doubt about this, you should request a blood count and a repeat chest x-ray to confirm that the pneumonia is resolving.
Avatar f tn I am diagnosed with pneumonia but the soctor says it can be cured at home. He has given medicine augmentin with other drugs. Will thia work? Do i need to get admitted?
Avatar m tn Since my family does not have the ability to stay home and help her get around they are giving her 1 more week to regain the use of her legs, if that does not happen she will be put down. Is there ANY kind of massage or home therapy that could even have the slightest potential of helping? I am desperate and will try anything.
Avatar n tn They wanted to keep me but I have 4 kids at home to care for so they sent me home with a steroid, inhaler and cough meds and told me to finish the z-pak. I finished the z-pak about a week ago and still don't feel better.
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.

620048 tn?1358018235 Hi Meg I hope you find with therapy that you will be able to move more easily . I went to speech therapy for swallowing problems and slurring of words it has helped alot she showed me techniques to swallow so things dont get stuck and I choke. Are you having swallowing or problems with speech?
Avatar f tn and we should assume he/she was, then you need to have a follow-up x-ray to determine if the pneumonia has or has not cleared. If not, you may need to have more therapy. Any infection of the lungs could make your asthma worse. Sounds like you did have the flu to begin with and it could cause pneumonia and also cause your asthma to worsen. You should try to get the recommendation of a relative or friend, of a good doctor, and then go to that doctor and not back to the ER.
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.
Avatar n tn My Friend has had Pneumonia, Empyema was in the hospital for a week while they weren't sure he'd made it through surgery then recovered, he was home for 6 weeks following the hospital stay and is back at work now. He is still experiencing severe pain during even mild exersise or any even mildly heavy breathing. He is having problems at work due to this and is the only one working in his household due to his wife's medical issues.
Avatar f tn I recently went to the Dr. suspecting I had pneumonia. She listened to my lungs and heard nothing, reviewed my ex ray and saw nothing. Four days later I received a call from the clinic saying the x ray tec saw signs of emphysema. I went in foe a follow up and was told I had moderate to severe emphysema based on this x ray alone. I have no symptoms except a little short of breathe when I was sick. The x ray did show pneumonia also. I was referred to a pulmanoligist but I am extremely scared.
Avatar m tn I have all the symptoms of pneumonia. The xray came back as either pneumonia or lung cancer. Small mass found on lower left lung. Treating me for pneumonia. I will have repeat xray possible cat scan. Asking in advance. How often is this found? Can pneumonia look like lung cancer? Day two of medication and I do feel better and fever broke. I still have pains from my cough and still expereince the sweaty, hot and cold bouts but feel better despite general aches and pains.
550796 tn?1214942591 I took him home with a bottle of amoxicillin (sp?) to give him morning and night. He had a dose last night and once this morning. The emergency vet told me that the only cure for this is time and antibiotics. He's got the antibiotics, but I'm wondering about the time. How long does it take to heal from this? He is lethargic and still wheezes. His gums and tongue are pink and he is eating a little.
480668 tn?1208397918 Im 45 y.o. female. In 2004 I started allergies injections for a variety of household/outdoor allergens. Started Neils Rinse, Gentamycin solutions, nasonex, nexium, rx antihistamines only to be diagnosed with chronic sinusitis. 02/07 RLL pneumonia , severe bronchitis and was hospitalized and at the same time had bilat FESS. The physician claimed the surgery did not go well because I was so abcessed. I was treated with various IV ABT's and sent home with diagnosis of strep pneumonia.
Avatar f tn I have had 2 pulmonary embolisms, blood clots in both lungs, pleurasy, pneumonia, and a partially collapsed lung. Yesterday I had a horrible pain on the right side in the upper rib area where the lower part of my lung is. My rib are and back is swollen out. The pain was so intense that it doubled me over amd I could not hardly breathe. Well today it is very sore in that area, I am also having pain when I breathe...it frustrates me when I call my dr and he sayes go to the er....
Avatar n tn s hospital where they treated him for pneumonia for 2 days then sent home to take Cefdinir for 12 days. Once the 12 days were over he once again started with the high fever and his cough never left. His doctor did x-rays once again and put him back on Cefdinir for 10 days. He ended up going back to Children's E.R. where they said he had decreased air movement in his lower left lobe and put him on Amox-Clav ES for 14 days. He is still running fever with a wet cough.
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 I’ve been diagnosed with lobar pneumonia and was put on antibiotics. It’s been two days (5 doses of antibiotics, so far) and nothing has changed! There is still no congestion, no coughing (I’ve even had 5 doses of Musinex)...just fatigue and shortness of breath. The pain is on and off....I feel crazy!!! HELP?!? (No, I’ve not been sick...my Mom was treated for the flu, but I only had contact with her after she had begun her medication...
Avatar f tn Im 41 and typically healthy but I caught pneumonia and I'm not being better. It's been a week and the fever is still high and I feel crunmy! Was to the hospital twice and they sent me home with augmentin. That didn't work so my doctor put me on levofloxcine and I feel better for a little them it comes back strong..when will this go away?
620048 tn?1358018235 I have " wanted to put me in the hospital" type pneumonia, but I wanted to stay home so my Dr put me on predisone, Levequin, nebulizer 4 times a day and i am using my hubby's oxygen...its been a little over a week and I am a bit better. I am so tired, fatigued, exhausted..all I have to do is get up or even talk on the phone and i am weak. It is complicated by copd and asthma ..my pulmonolgist has not seen me yet and it seems all they are interested in is my sleep apnea..
Avatar m tn When i arrived at home, i become so worry as i read that she maybe have pneumonia. Please note that i have 4 months baby at home. So, my question is, should i worry about the exposure? Thank you for the response.
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.
