Pneumonia recovery process

Common Questions and Answers about Pneumonia recovery process

pneumonia

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.
Avatar n tn Dear Doctor, I am a 36 year old asthmatic woman and I take 250 seretide evohaler 2 puffs twice daily. I got pneumonia 2 months ago (end of August) and I still feel tired, no energy. Do you think I would be strong enough for the swine flu (H1N1) vaccine, or should I wait until I have made a full recovery? Thanks.
Avatar f tn Is there anyone out there who has been down the same road with TMJ and who can share the length/process of their recovery? The doctor said (after surgery) that I should be back to normal anytime between this current month to two months from now. Yet, I am nowhere near normal. I still have a long way to go. Side note: I am supposed to have orthognathic surgery after a year of braces (once I get better).
Avatar m tn she listened from the middle of my back then listened to my left lung and said I had very minimal wheezing and that the pneumonia was gone and that I was in the recovery stage that involves coughing up the mucus and my body absorbing the mucus in my lungs. I never had a chest X-ray so I can't say for sure that the pneumonia was in my right lung BUT the painful spot that the previous doc identified that made him concerned was on the right and this doctor only listened to my left lung.
Avatar m tn It sounds like you sister is getting the best care possible. She is on the ventilator to help her body heal itself. Off the ventilator, her body would expend too much energy just trying to breath to get the extra oxygen in. This is a bacterial infection? Then hopefully the antibiotics will kick in to kill the infection. At that point, she will start her healing process. It will be a slow one.
Avatar m tn If that is correct, the course of your illness is consistent with what is called, Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP -- pneumonia acquired when not hospitalized). There are many causes of pneumonia (bacteria, fungi, viruses, chemical or organic irritants) and, even with extensive bacteriologic testing the specific cause is often not determined. The information you have provided, including the imaging studies (X-ray and CT) provides no clues as to the cause of your pneumonia.
Avatar n tn I have read many cases like your and it seems that recovery is a very long process and also you should report anything new to your Dr ASAP as there can be complications. The fluid or residue can be very painful and it just takes time to heal.
Avatar f tn I found out today at my appt that I have to have a c-section due to a low lying placenta. Can anyone explain the process to me and how long after will inbe able to be with my baby.
Avatar n tn In general, the sooner a person can safely get up and moving around, the better--Helps maintain strength, prevent pneumonia, helps get the bowels moving regularly, improves circulation, etc. Good luck!
467579 tn?1289402969 Given that I would say that it could take a long time to fully recover from the flu. Maybe even 3 months or more would be my guess. I have had pneumonia in the past and that took a long, long time befor I full recovered. I would advise you to ask your Doctor about this. It would not surprise me if he/she said something similar to what I have written. Hope this helps.
184674 tn?1360860493 But in late January she started coughing up blood and was hospitalized with pneumonia for four days. Then she was sent home and she had a decent recovery through February. Her chemo was started up again the last week of Feb and after one treatment, she became really sick with pneumonia again. She was hospitalized Feb. 29 and she never got to come home. She passed away March 23. That was my husband's birthday.
Avatar n tn To determine if pneumonia is still present, direct clinical examination is important together with diagnostic tests. Pneumonia caused by a virus infection usually resolve after couple of days and recovery may also be affected by various factors including the medical history of the patient. If it persists, it is best that you have this checked by your doctor. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn A few months ago, my mother was diagnosed with pneumonia. After a round of antibiotics and breathing treatments, she was pronounced well. Since being cured of the pneumonia, she developed diverticultis. This was quite a surprise. Mom is very healthy -- she is 70 and takes care of everyone else. She is very diligent about eating yogurt and taking her probiotics, often scolding others to do the same, especially while on antibiotics.
Avatar n tn Will a patient see significant improvement on their PFT test after taking medication for a period of time. This was my orginal PFT test three weeks after having pneumonia and the second set of tests were performed two months afterwards. Do most people with COPD see this much of an improvement on their later PFT results or is there a possibility that maybe what I have is more asthma seen COPD? These were the results of my first test FVC ref 3.51 pre 2.74 78% post 3.
Avatar m tn Pallyfan, I'm not a doctor but I'm a father who has been down your Dad's path. Since I was essentially in a blackout for 20 days what I know about my behavior before and after open heart surgery is second hand, but what I've been told bears resemblence to what you've observed. I was 54 then, fairly mild mannered but I behaved bizarrely and aggressively - throwing hospital trays, trying to call a cab to escape. Calling nurses ******.
1733547 tn?1310332865 I am looking for ANY advise on helping my heart recover from congestive heart failure. It was brought on by a severe infection (believed to be a pneumonia infection). I was put into an induced coma for 9 days while the infection ran it's course and I'm thankful to God for bringing me back to life (my wife was told more than once to prepare for my leaving this world). My recovery has been miraculous - I broke every time line laid before me.
Avatar n tn He spent 10 days in the hospital and then went to a rehab facility. After 5 days he was sent back to the hospital with pneumonia. The doctor who admitted him to the hospital told me that his prognosis was very poor - she mentioned death and advised me to consult with the palliative care nurse. I am certainly not ready to give up on him yet! The pneumonia seems to already be clearing up, though I'm sure he will need to spend several days in the hospital.
Avatar f tn yes you can search their names like Engr_JDelacruz, Safisifa, tambui, mustthinkpositive, mikec414 ... i find in their posts detail report of their process of cure.
Avatar n tn when the pneumonia viral gets into blood, how to cure it ? for old people 78yo, wtih parkinson disease.
Avatar m tn I would not go by general statements for recovery....look to the individual and and how they rebound ....how they deal with pain....and how they deal with meds. Even how they deal with the chiari itself....but, it can take up to 2 yrs to fully heal..... Some drs have no idea or bother to look at it this way, plus u really should check to see if he has EDS which can cause one to heal slower.... Plus the after care is lacking...

Avatar n tn Watt Eagle published a series of articles describing a constellation of symptoms associated with an elongated styloid process. This syndrome that bears his name is associated with two classic presentations. The first, which the otolaryngologist is more familiar with, is throat pain radiating to the ear in a post-tonsillectomy patient. The second, and lesser-known presentation, is constant throbbing pain throughout either the internal or external carotid artery distributions.
