When should you go to the hospital for pneumonia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pneumonia: Most pneumonia can be treated at home with medications. If the fever is over 102, white cell count elevation, shortness of breath with falling oxygen sats, worsening appearance on chest x-ray--- then you need to be treated in hospital.
