Can pneumonia happens 3 hours after aspiration?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There is a disease state called aspiration pneumonitis which is more of a lung reaction to aspiration rather than pneumonia caused by a bacteria or virus - aspiration pneumonitis can happen quickly and needs to be evaluated by a professional.
