Going to the er and getting turned away made my pneumonia feel worse. afterwards my lungs felt like they were shutting down amd making more mucus?

Go back: Return to the emergency room if your symptoms are worsening(fever,chills,sweats,shortness of breath,chest pain, wheezing,rapid pulse) as advanced pneumonia is more difficult to treat and has a high mortality rate.
