FAQs About Pneumonia

Q: How is pneumonia different from a cold or flu?

A: While pneumonia can start with cold or flu-like symptoms, it is a more serious infection of the lungs. The symptoms are often more severe and include a high fever, chills, shortness of breath, and chest pain that worsens with breathing or coughing. A cold and flu primarily affect the upper respiratory system, while pneumonia affects the deep lung tissue.

Q: Is pneumonia contagious?

A: The germs that cause pneumonia (viruses, bacteria, and fungi) are contagious and can be spread through the air via respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing. However, getting exposed to the germ doesn’t mean you will get pneumonia, as it depends on your immune system’s strength.

Q: How long does it take to recover from pneumonia?

A: Recovery time varies depending on the type and severity of the pneumonia, your age, and your overall health. Mild cases may improve in a week, while more severe cases can take a month or more to fully resolve. It’s important to complete your full course of medication and follow your doctor’s instructions to prevent a relapse.
