While walking pneumonia will definitely make one feel quite terrible, it is the least dangerous form of pneumonia. It is a mild pneumonia and does not usually require a trip to the hospital. Some symptoms can include a cough, sore throat, and fatigue.
Yes, indeed. "Pneumonia" is a generic term referring broadly to any infection of the lung. Just because a person got over an infection by one kind of bacteria doesn't mean a different species can't invade later.
There are several types of pneumonia. Pneumonia is a condition, not an illness. The condition occurs after you have contracted a respiratory illness and creates small pockets of fluids inside your lungs. The type of pneumonia depends on the underlying illness. If you have a bacterial infection, you get bacterial pneumonia (this is the most dangerous kind, and is treated with antibiotics). There also is a viral pneumonia, which cannot be treated with antibiotics. Doctors may prescribe antibiotics to deal with some of the side effects, but generally rest and fluids are prescribed. There is fungal pneumonia, which occurs if you have a fungal infection in your ear, nose, or throat. And lastly, there is aspiration pneumonia, which occurs from pathogens that entered your lungs from another part of your body.
Pneumonia is an inflammation or infection of the lungs most commonly caused by a bacteria or virus. Pneumonia can also be caused by inhaling vomit or other foreign substances.
