A member asked:
Have luminous yellow phelm difficulty coughing, short of breath, my mother had pluersy/pnumonia two weeks ago could i have caught an infection from her?

Maybe, maybe not: Two people coming down with similar ill symptoms could have caught it from one another, or both of them could have caught it from a third person. A doctor can evaluate to see if antibiotics are needed.
