For me it took two weeks to feel like my old self, after 8 days in the hospital. I had it in both lungs also, and had to stay in the hospital until my oxygen saturation on room air improved to above 90% (when I took off the oxygen thing it would drop to between 80% and 85%) and I was able to keep solid food down. My regular doctor, who I saw about two weeks after my discharge from the hospital, told me to not do any exercise that caused me to get winded for a few more weeks.

What is double pnemonia?
Double pneumonia refers to pneumonia that affects both lungs instead of just one. This condition can result from various pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, or fungi, leading to inflammation and fluid accumulation in the lung tissues. Symptoms often include severe cough, difficulty breathing, chest pain, and fever. It can be more serious than pneumonia affecting only one lung, necessitating prompt medical attention.
What is viral pleurisy?
Viral pleurisy is an inflammation of the double membrane (pleura) surrounding the lungs caused by a viral infection, such as the flu or a respiratory virus. Symptoms typically include chest pain, fever, and difficulty breathing. Treatment involves managing symptoms with rest, pain relievers, and sometimes antiviral medication.

If treated for double pneumonia instead of staff pneumonia what will be the outcome?
Double pneumonia does not identify which kind of pneumonia you have or which pathogen is the cause -- it is only identifying that you have it bilaterally, or in both lungs. Staph pneumonia identifies the actually pathogen causing the infection, Staphlococcus aureus, which is a very virulent pathogen. Staph pneumonia can be deadly if not treated properly. It may be helpful if you understand that there are many different forms of pneumonia, and that being diagnosed with "pneumonia" itself isn't a death sentence by any means -- it simply means you have inflammation and fluid in the lungs. This inflammation and fluid can be caused by a virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite, and sometimes is just caused by damage to lung tissue without any infectious origin at all. In most cases, pneumonia will clear up with antibiotic therapy, and the people with the highest risk of dying from the disease are very young children, elderly, and people with compromised immune systems.
Can you get pneumonia after getting the pneumonia vaccine?
