Pneumonia
Pneumonia is an infection that swallows one or both lungs of air bags with fluid or pus, which can cause mucus or pus, cough, fever, chills, and breathing.
Pneumonia can be normal to life. It is more harmful for infants, young children, people over 65, people with health problems or people with weak immune systems.
Most types of pneumonia are infectious. Both viral and bacterial pneumonia can spread to other people by sneezing or coughing, but fungus pimples do not spread like this.
Types of Pneumonia.
1. Bacterial pneumonia - This type of pneumonia is caused by various bacteria, the most common of which is Streptococcus pneumoniae. It usually occurs when the body becomes weak in some way, Such as illness, lack of nutrition, old age or immune problems in the body, whereby the bacteria go into the lungs. Bacterial pneumonia can affect all ages but if you drink alcohol, smoke, are weak, recently you have surgery, you have respiratory disease or viral infection, or your immune system is weak, so you have pneumonia The possibilities are much more.
2. Viral pneumonia - This type of pneumonia is caused by various viruses including influenza (flu). If you have viral pneumonia, you are more likely to have bacterial pneumonia.
3. Mycoplasma pneumonia - This type of pneumonia has some different symptoms and it is called as ephemeral pneumonia. This is caused by a bacterium called Mycoplasma pneumoniae. This is usually the result of mild but pneumonia which affects all age groups.
4. Aspiration pneumonia - This type of pneumonia occurs from food, liquid, gas or dust. This is also known as Necrotizing Pneumonia, Anaerobic Pneumonitis and Aspiration of Vomitus. This type of pneumonia is sometimes difficult to repair because People who have Aspiration pneumonia are already sick.
5. Fungal pneumonia - This type of pneumonia occurs from various spatial or opportunistic fungi. This causes fungal infections, such as Histoplasmosis, Coccidioidomycosis and Blastomycosis. It is difficult to diagnose fungal pneumonia.
Pneumonia Symptoms.
If you have pneumonia, you will have symptoms like having flu or chest infection. Symptoms can develop gradually in a few days or their progress can be very rapid.
The main symptom of pneumonia is cough. You will feel weak and tired and you may have any of these symptoms -
1. Mucus Cough
2. Fever (you may also sweat and shiver)
3. Difficulty breathing or breathing fast
4. Chest pain or discomfort
5. Loss of appetite
You may also have more severe symptoms -
1. Taking quick breath
2. Confused
3. Low blood pressure
4. Coughing
5. The thrill of beating
6. Nausea and vomiting
Some people have severe pain in the chest while breathing. This can happen because the thin outer shell of the lungs causes infections and swelling that block your lungs to work smoothly. Pneumonia symptoms are often
similar to other chest infections such as bronchitis. You will need to consult your doctor for proper diagnosis.
Pneumonia Causes.
Pneumonia can be caused by viruses, bacteria, fungus, or parasitic organisms or other organisms.
1. Many types of bacteria can cause pneumonia.
2. In most cases, pneumonia-causing organisms (such as bacteria or virus) are not detected by testing, but generally it is caused by Streptococcus Pneumoniae.
3. Mycoplasma Pneumoniae, which is caused by mycoplasma nemone, is sometimes lighter and is also called "walking pneumonia".
4. Pneumonia can also occur with viruses like influenza A (flu virus) and respiratory susceptible virus (RSV).
5. People with immune system problems may also be pneumonia due to other organisms such as Pneumocystis Jiroveci. This fungus often causes pneumonia in those people who have AIDS. Some doctors may suggest HIV testing if they think that pneumonia is due to Neammochostos Jiroveci.
Prevention of Pneumonia.
The main ways to avoid pneumonia are:
1. Take vaccine: Vaccines are available to prevent some types of pneumonia and flu. Vaccinations change over time, so consult your doctor even if your pneumonia is vaccinated.
2. Vaccination of children: Doctors recommend separate pneumonia vaccines for children under 2 years of age and 2 to 5 years of age. Doctors also advise flu shots for children older than 6 months.
3. Take care of Cleanliness: Wash your hands regularly to protect yourself from respiratory infections (which sometimes involve pneumonia).
4. Do not smoke: Smoking causes lots of damage to your lungs.
5. Keep your immune system healthy: Get enough sleep, exercise regularly and eat healthy diets.
Pneumonia Treatment.
Treatment of pneumonia depends on the type, severity, age and your health of pneumonia. The options for its treatment are-
1. Antibiotics - These medicines are used to treat bacterial pneumonia. It may take some time for you to identify pneumonia bacteria and to choose the right antibiotic for you. If your symptoms are not good, then your doctor may give you another antibiotic.
2. Cough medicines - This drug can be used to reduce your cough so that you can relax. Cough helps to loosen and release fluid from your lungs, so cough should not be completely cured.
3. Fevers / Painkillers - You can take them for fever and discomfort as needed, such as aspirin, ibuprofen and paracetamol.
However, consult your doctor before taking any medication.
You may need to be hospitalized if:
1. You are above the age of 65 years.
2. Problems in your kidney work.
3. Your systolic blood pressure is less than 90 millimeter Hg or diastolic blood pressure is 60 millimeters Hg or greater.
4. Your breath is moving fast.
5. You need help with breathing.
6. Your heart rate is below 50 or above 100.
7. You can be admitted to ICU if you need a ventilator or if your symptoms are serious.
