Pneumonia

Topic Overview

Pneumonia is a serious infection that affects the lungs (lower respiratory tract).

Pneumonia is caused by bacteria, viruses, or (in rare cases) parasites or other organisms. In up to 65% of cases, the organism (such as bacteria or virus) that is causing pneumonia is not identified even with testing.1

Pneumonia usually starts when a person inhales infected air particles into the lungs.
In other cases, pneumonia develops during or after a viral upper respiratory infection, such as a cold or the flu. Pneumonia also may occur as a complication of a viral illness such as measles or chickenpox.
Pneumonia also can develop if a person inhales food, vomit, or mucous material into the lungs (aspiration).
Pneumonia can be a relatively mild illness. In young, healthy people recovery may take from 2 to 3 weeks. Recovery may take up to 6 to 8 weeks or longer in older adults and those who have other health problems.
Pneumonia can be acquired in a hospital, nursing home, or other institutional setting. This topic focuses on pneumonia that is acquired in the community, not in a health care setting.

Treatment Overview

Treatment for pneumonia caused by bacteria almost always involves antibiotics. Younger, otherwise healthy people with strong immune systems usually respond well to antibiotics. Hospitalization usually is not needed.

Antibiotics usually are continued for 5 to 14 days. They may be continued longer for people with impaired immune systems. Doctors have a large number of antibiotics to choose from to treat pneumonia.
Home treatment, such as getting enough rest and drinking more fluid, is important to recovery.
Some improvement in symptoms is usually seen within 2 to 3 days. Unless the person gets worse during this time, the treatment usually is not changed for at least 3 days.
If there is no improvement or if symptoms worsen, further testing may be needed. Tests may help identify the organism causing the symptoms and test the bacteria's sensitivity to the antibiotics being used.

Pneumonia also can be caused by viruses, such as those that cause influenza (flu) and chickenpox (varicella). There is no proven medication to treat pneumonia caused by the influenza virus.1 Varicella pneumonia (rare) can be treated with the antiviral medication acyclovir.

A person with pneumonia may need to be admitted to the hospital if the person:

Is an older adult (over 65).
Has other health problems, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, asthma, diabetes, long-term (chronic) kidney failure, or chronic liver disease.
Cannot care for him- or herself or would not be able to tell anyone if the symptoms worsened.
Has severe illness (including less oxygen is getting to the blood and tissues).
A person has chest pain caused by inflammation of the lining of the lung (pleurisy) and therefore is not able to cough up mucus effectively and clear the lungs.
A person is being treated outside a hospital and does not get better (such as fever does not go down or returns, dry cough begins to bring up mucus from the lungs, or shortness of breath increases).
This topic does not discuss hospital treatment for pneumonia.

What to Think About
When a person does not need to be hospitalized for pneumonia, identification of the organism causing the infection usually is not needed before starting treatment. When hospitalization for pneumonia is necessary, some additional testing usually is done to identify the bacteria.

Antibiotics that are effective against a wide range of organisms generally are prescribed first and usually are effective. Further culture and sensitivity testing is only needed in severe cases or if the person shows no signs of improvement.

Take decongestants, something for pain, and maybe think about antibiotics? Echinacea and goldenseal are always good alternatives if you really don't want to be seen by a physician to get prescription antibiotics. Assuming you don't have allergies.

i don't understand why any of these questions weren't asked or cleared up when you saw the doctor.  from what you are typing the  impression that i get is that you had x-rays taken and just took them home and looked at them yourself.


i could be wrong about this part but i'm going to say that i believe your doctor already cleared up these issues.  also usually when some medical problems arise ther person experiencing them finds out as much as they can about it, whether it be at the hospital or on the net.  surely you had to have done this.

My pnemonias gone now, i had medicine, i just forgot about askin about hockey and staying out of school.

How long does Phnemonia last? I got the x rays yesterday and i guess i had liquid in my lungs. How long should i stay out of school? Ive been out all this week. How long should i wait before playing ice hockey again?
