Recognizing the Symptoms of Pneumonia

Don’t Ignore the Warning Signs

Pneumonia is a serious lung infection that can affect anyone, especially during the colder and rainy seasons. Early detection and treatment are crucial to preventing complications and ensuring a full recovery.

Common Symptoms to Watch For:

  • Persistent Cough (with or without mucus)
  • Fever and Chills
  • Shortness of Breath
  • Chest Pain (especially when breathing or coughing)
  • Fatigue or Weakness

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t brush them off — they could be signs of pneumonia.

Why Prompt Medical Attention Matters

Ignoring pneumonia symptoms can lead to serious health risks, especially for infants, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems. The good news? Pneumonia is treatable!

With proper diagnosis, pneumonia can be effectively managed through:

  • Antibiotics (for bacterial pneumonia)
  • Antiviral medications (if caused by a virus)
  • Oxygen therapy and rest (in more severe cases)
