Pneumonia Prevention Guide: Protecting Your Lungs in the Modern World.
Pneumonia is a serious respiratory infection that causes inflammation in the air sacs (alveoli) of one or both lungs. When you have pneumonia, these air sacs may fill with fluid or pus, making it difficult and painful to breathe. This condition can be triggered by a variety of organisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. While it often starts with symptoms resembling a common cold or flu, pneumonia typically presents with more severe signs like a persistent cough with colored phlegm, high fever, shaking chills, and stabbing chest pain.
