"Walking pneumonia,": which is a a general term for pneumonia that don't make someone so sick they are bed bound. Altho symptoms are milder that the usual bacterial pneumonias, it can result in complications. Also, it can be spread thru coughing. I recommend you stay home until coughing and fever (if you have one) have resolved. Dr. Anne
