How long does viral pneumonia last? i have been sick now for12 days
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No specific time: Our immune system fights viruses. The stronger your immune system is, the shorter time it will take for you to fight it off and get better. If you have more problems and a weaker immune system, it will be longer.
