symptoms of pneumonia bacterial pneumonia

Also, when I wake in the morning, I usually have a feeling of discomfort in the right upper quadrant of my body.....just a vague aching. After I am out of bed and moving around, I don't notice it. Can you tell me if these symptoms go along with recovering from bacterial pneumonia? Thanks.

I have swallowing disorders that put me at risk for aspiration pneumonia. Are there any tests that can be done to differentiate the type of pneumonia? I have had several xrays done on my chest and was put on antibiotics.

Anyway, there are different reasons we get pneumonia. People think of bacterial or viral. We can also have chemical or traumatic. And pneumonia is not like bronchitis. So, symptoms are not always as predictable. It can take a while to get over. If you still have your symptoms on day 5 on antibiotics, I would call your doctor. The thing with antibiotics is that different ones treat different pathogens. What pathogen caused your pneumonia if it is bacterial?

One ounce of Magnesium Chloride flakes (Pharmaceutical grade) per one liter of spring water, sipped very slowly throughout the entire day. Repeat for 3-4 days. Your symptoms indicate a viral or bacterial infection and are consistent with bronchiestasis. If it is viral, no medicine can help, once the virus has replicated. If bacterial, amoxicillin is the antibiotic of choice for bronchiectasis. You may want to consider Breathing Exercises for Bronchiectasis.

Hi, I think your biggest concern should be about her getting bacterial pneumonia. It might be just a virus for now, but a virus can lead to bacterial pneumonia. If she can't see a doctor because of cost or any other reason, she must go anyway for antibiotics if it turns into a bacterial pneumonia. https://www.webmd.com/lung/bacterial-pneumonia How high is her fever? Does she have these symptoms?

These complications can include dehydration, ear or sinus infections, and bacterial or viral pneumonia, which can fill the air sacs in the lungs with pus or fluid, making it difficult to breathe and depriving older patients of adequate oxygen. In some cases, pneumonia may be asymptomatic, but it is still contagious if it results from a bacterial or viral infection.

I am just guessing, but it seems like if you were diagnosed early and take your antibiotics or whatever the doctor has said to do, you won't have long-term negative results from a bout of pneumonia. I've had a lot of friends who have had it at one time or another, and the only risk is if they don't get treated.

Much like a whooping cough or pleuritis (inflammation of the space surrounding the lungs), there will be episodes of gasping fits, even when things are getting better. fungal infections can be misdiagnosed as bacterial pneumonia, it has happened to me, but if the xrays are looking better then this likely is a bacterial infection. Ask your veterinarian if a bronchodilator will help and express with them your concerns, I am sure they will be happy to listen and work with you to help your dog.

The DR then prescribed a 5 day treatment of oral prednasole because she was beginning to think that he may also have asthma due to the wheezing and the sound of his cough. Does this sound like symptoms of children's asthma? We have another appointment tomorrow to check him out (after 3 days of the steroids with the antibiotic) is there anything I need to ask my doctor?

Yes, the shot is only used for protection against bacterial infections. However, the bacterial type of pneumonia is the more serious one...the one that causes hospitalization and death. This is why my pulmonolgist insists on it. Again, my experience only and from the mouth of my own personal doctor.

Thank you I was going to ask how old she is , there is bacterial and viral pneumonia.In viral symptoms appear gradually and are less severe in bacterial they get sick fairly quickly and have a high fever and rapid breathing.With treatment bacterial is cured in 1-2 weeks..viral will last longer.There are vaccines now .

It is best to stay away from the eldery or those with compromised immune systems while experiencing active bacterial pneumonia. The use of prednisone with these infections is controversial. I know many physicians prescribe a steroid to take with lung infections. My personal opinion is that the degradation of the immune response by the prednisone always outweighs the benefits.

i have a 45yr old female african american who is recovering from bacterial pneumonia and now she is experiencing some dyspnea with excessive fatigue,blurred vision,poor appetite,muscle weakness and edema in her lower extremities

Female age 50 ... I was being treated for pneumonia with 10 days of levaquin and lodrain 24 D. On the fifth day I started having moderate and continual pain between my sholder blades in the upper back and heartburn (no heartburn for 25 years previously) and extreme fatigue. I thought it was the pneumonia and didn't go to the doctor for five days. My blood test then showed troponin was high, doctor said I may have had a heart attack. Doctor wanted a stress test ... which showed normal.

could you think of anything else i feel like i have the flu but im not really sure ive never had it before ... i have alot of stuff that is wrong with me like my back stomache head arms legs and of course my chest everytime i eat i can only take a few bites then quit and i havent really ate anything in like 3 days ?

As mentioned above. Also, Polio, Flu, HPV etc. You can get viral or bacterial pneumonia. Pneumonia is infection of the lungs due to fluid buildup and then usually it is a "secondary" organism that was not the initial infection that you get when you have lowered immunity due to the virus or some other condition. You can also get bacterial pneumonia as a secondary infection. Bacterial pneumonia is usually caused by a bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae.

The time span that I was on 1st tx, the break between and the duration of of 2nd tx was probably the most healty I've been in years. Of course, need to subtract the sx's and othe hcv baggage. During those two years, nothing came near me; colds, flu, infections, wife, kids. The only thing that approached me were our two dogs. But, i need to discount them somewhat because their main interest is sniffing foul things and investigating gross objects. And, I resembled that remark.

no, severe lung infections such as pneumonia or acute (bacterial) bronchitis can take many weeks to heal up from. Just watch out for relapses in symptoms of infections, such as fever and increasing shortness of breath.

They can treat you with antibiotics if you have the secondary bacterial pneumonia but if it is Mycoplasma or Chlamydia they may or may not. I have had both Mycoplasma and Chlamdia pneumnia at the same time after getting the flu. You may just still have the viral pneumonia. You should revisit your doctor to be safe. If you have any other questions feel free.

Pneumonia is defined as an inflammatory condition of the lungs. It does not "get into the blood". The causative agent may be viral, bacterial or chemical. If it is viral some studies suggest several grams of vitamin C a day will be helpful. Otherwise, as allmymarbles suggested, if the etiology is viral treatment is supportive.

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.

whether the infection be due to viral,bacterial, fungal, or parasitic...pneumonia is not a condition JUST A SYMPTOM of a condition or infection...i dont believ this vaccine they have is going to do anygood...this is probably not going to be a pandemic lkike everybody thinks...this is no spanish flu of 1918...everybody is getting so paranoid about a flu./..its funny these things show up at least once every five years...rember bird flu? SARS? werent those supposed to be pandemics to? were they?

I have bronchiltis or the start of pneumonia, the only improvement since yesterday is that my voice is starting to come back, I still feel the pressure on my chest when doing things. Should I go back?

Doc listened to lungs and visual inspection of throat, nothing. Went and got x-rays and discovered 2/3 of left lung with pneumonia. Wasn't sure whether it was walking version, but was prescribed 875mg/125mg Amoxicillin. Two days into treatment started feeling better, two days after that felt like lungs are filling up with fluid again, coughing worsen and rib pain worsen. Completed 7 day Antibiotics today.

A woman was in the hospital with pneumonia a couple of days prior to her giving me oral sex. Am assuming they put her on meds. with her being on meds what is the possibility she was still contagious, which she never told me she had it. For a couple of days My urine flow was frequent, like peeing thru a straw and small white discharge. I have none of those symptoms now but am still concerned.

Since you previously had pneumonia and sinus infections, I would start with some of the stealth infections that are responsible for most atypical pneumonia but can become systemic (causing system-wide infections) later on and result in the types of symptoms that you have listed. Examples would be M. pneumoniae, C. pneumoniae and similar infections. There could also be one or more chronic viral infections as well.

Why are you taking tylenol? The fever is part of the immune system. Pathogenic organisms can only replicate within a narrow temperature range. The elevated body temperature is necssary to kill them. I cannot understand why these anti-fever meds are pushed by physicians who should know better. Take your time recovering. These lung infections can be very dangerous. Drink plenty of fluids, walk around a bit, and stay warm. Often a bacterial infection "piggybacks" on a viral infection.
