Some can be treated. Pneumonia can make you feel real sick and can have a bad cough and if a person gets it more than once it can scar the lungs.pneumococcal immunization vaccine are avaliable to protect against some types. Penicillins help some other types. Nothing for viral pneumonia.being short of breath is another. A chest x-ray or a doctor listening to the lungs can diagnois pneumonia
