if you have had a bad chesty cough for over 3 weeks you should go to your doctor. At hospitals, doctors will do x-rays and pneumonia looks like large patches on the lung on the x-ray. It can also be caused by getting food trapped in your lungs.

Can any type of pneumonia be diagnosed by a urine sample?

Yes, certain types of pneumonia can be diagnosed using a urine sample, particularly those caused by specific pathogens like Streptococcus pneumoniae and Legionella pneumophila. Urine antigen tests can detect these bacteria, providing a rapid diagnostic method. However, not all pneumonia cases can be diagnosed this way, as many pneumonias are caused by viruses or other bacteria that do not have specific urine tests available. Therefore, a comprehensive clinical evaluation and additional testing may still be necessary for a definitive diagnosis.
