Lung health:  You may have had some lung scarring with residual sequela.  Have you been back to see the pulmonologist to check on the status of your lungs?

Question 2

cough with mucus for over a year,especially at night.no treatment working out.high bp, diabetic,60m,pnemonia duiagoned year ago.platelets low, what treatment should i follow next?

Accepted Answer

: There are a lot of possibilities for your symptoms, including chronic bronchitis, a form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Have you ever smoked? If you smoke now, you really need to quit. You should see a lung doctor for diagnosis/treatment and help with smoking cessation, if needed. Best of luck to you!

Accepted Answer

Not uncommon: Even after antibiotic treatment, many children will have a dry cough that lasts six weeks or more. If concerned, see a pediatrician.

Question 4

walking pneumonia, how long does cough last?

Accepted Answer

Walking pneumonia: This is a poor and virtually meaningless term referring primarily to whether a patient requires hospitalization or can be treated as an outpatient. The duration of cough will depend upon the organism involved. If mycoplasma pneumoniae the cough can be present for many weeks making you wonder if you have cancer. If bacterial it may be very brief, as long as major airways not involved.

Question 5

Question 6

Accepted Answer

This is unusual: See you lung doc to have it checked out.

You may need a CT of your chest.

Discuss with your lung doc,

No reason to wait!

Question 7

for what length of time can i expect a cough to last after recovering from pneumonia?

Accepted Answer

Could be a while: Unfortunately a cough that results from significant lung infection like pneumonia can last from a couple of weeks to even several months.   The other symptoms like fever and mucus production should resolve much more quickly with treatment however.

Question 8

i was diagnosed with pneumonia and have been really sick since last week. everytime i cough i get instantly dizzy. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Vertigo: This may be due to involvement of the middle ear (semicircular canals), to decrease in oxygen to brain, to neurological involvement by organisms like Mycoplasma, or to other factors. Recommend strongly that you go back and see the doctor again ASAP.

Question 9

i was diagnosed with pneumonia last week. highest fever of 104.5 went down after a day. feel much better, small cough. when can i return to training?

Accepted Answer

When you are ready: Glad you are better. Go back to training when you feel up to it. Don't expect to return to your pre-illness form just yet. If this was really pneumonia (and not just some viral upper respiratory illness) you should expect to have some difficulty at first with endurance- or aerobic activities.  My guess is you had the flu or a similar illness and yo are ready to go.

Question 10

is it possible to have pneumonia without much of a cough? could feel rattling in chest when breathing last night& have been having pain in chest& back

Accepted Answer

For sure: I personally was very sick with fever and chills but no cough, It eventually was determined that I had right upper lobe pneumonia. You show have examination by physician and possible radiographic exam. One of major symptoms for community acquired pneumonia is chest pain. Of course musculoskeletal issues can also cause chest and back pain.
