Pneumonia is a lung inflammation caused by viral or bacterial infection. How long it lasts depends on the age and health condition of the patient, how quickly treatment was administered and whether it was caused by a virus or bacteria.
There is no simple answer. Pneumonia can be caused by chemicals, viruses and bacteria, by not breathing properly when bedridden, by immune system problems and other causes. The first thing you need to know is the cause of the person's pneumonia. When you know the cause, you can look at treatments. If a normally healthy young person has a pneumonia caused by a bacteria or germ, and if that germ is easily destroyed by ordinary antibiotics, recovery will take a few weeks. Other pneumonias are much harder to treat successfully, especially if the patient has another health problem as well. For instance, if an elderly patient is bedridden due to a stroke and they get hypostatic pneumonia (the sort you get from not breathing deeply enough) and the pneumonia is resistant to antibiotic treatment, recovery will take a lot longer. Pneumonia in premature babies is difficult too. So - no simple answer. It depends on the age and general health of the patient and what the cause of the pneumonia might be.
From what I read pneumonia varies in length on time that it lasts. It can last a few days or sometimes up to a month.
5 years
yes
How often do I have to take a pneumonia shot .
The vaccine usually takes effect in two weeks.
cuz ur a nob
A cough from pneumonia should only last 7-10 days after the antibotics are finished, if that long! If you are still experiencing a cough, you should check with your doctor. The pneumonia may not be gone or you might have developed a secondary respiratory infection.
About 4 weeks
my arm is so sore and hurt all night from the pneumonia shot. It is swollen .
My doctor told me to get the pneumonia vaccine shot every 5 years.
Normal side effects of the pneumonia shot is swelling and soreness at the area the shot was given. If you have concerns about an allergic reaction, you should consult your physician!
I did and had no problems, plus, I had 3 others with those.
Not by a long shot.
One of the best ways to protect yourself from Pneumonia is to get a flu shot since the flu is a common cause of Pneumonia. Another way to try to protect yourself from Pneuumonia is to get vaccinated for Pneumococcal Pneumonia.
