What are the sign and symptoms of bronco-pneumonia?

Answer 1

The symptoms of clinical bronchopneumonia can include shortness of breath, fatigue, fever, cough, and chest pain while breathing in deeply. This condition is an infection that can be caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses. It is an inflammation of the lung's air sacs.

Answer 2

An inflammatory condition of the lungs, pneumonia is most often caused by infection, although chemical burns or physical injury can also cause the condition. Infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. Bacterial pneumonia is by far the most common of these infecting agents. Bacterial pneumonia can be treated with antibiotics.

The signs of pneumonia often mimic flu symptoms, such as a persistent cough and a fever, often making it difficult for patients to realize early on that they may have a more serious condition, especially as pneumonia can develop after a respiratory infection such as influenza or a cold. However, in people under 65, additional symptoms usually develop quickly.

Symptoms of Bacterial Pneumonia

A persistent cough, often producing greenish mucus (sputum).

Fever

Shaking chills that may occur only once or repeatedly

Shortness of breath or fast, shallow breathing

Chest pain on the side of the infected lung, often made worse when coughing

Sweating

Headache

Fatigue

Pneumonia is a common disease that occurs in people of all ages, and is a leading cause of death among the young and the old, as well as the chronically ill. Symptoms vary according to age and general health. Infants may exhibit typical signs of pneumonia or may simply appear to be excessively sleepy or may exhibit a decreased appetite. Fever may be less pronounced in older adults. Seniors may experience a cough with little or no mucus. A major sign of pneumonia in older adults can be confusion or excessive fatigue. Since pneumonia can be especially life-threatening for seniors, older people with symptoms that last more than a day should seek medical help. Care should be taken to note the emergency symptoms listed below, which indicate the need for immediate medical help.

Emergency Symptoms

High fever

Blood in sputum

Bluish-toned skin

Labored and heavy breathing

Rapid heart rate

Mental confusion or delirium

Sudden weight loss

Some atypical types of pneumonia can trigger specific symptoms. Weight loss and night sweats can indicate pneumonia caused by tuberculosis. Diarrhea and abdominal pain can be symptoms of pneumonia caused by Legionnaires' disease.
