Need information: There are different kinds of pneumonia and it would be helpful to know if bacterial or viral. Also, all occur recently or over 16 years? Pneumonia is more common if there is an underlying asthma, history of smoking tobacco or weed, or possible immune disorder. If asthma, use maintenance meds to keep under control, stop smoking, or get immune consult to chreck antibodfies & Rx pneumonia vaccine
