A member asked:

Can i take a long walk if i have mild pneumonia?

See below: If you have pneumonia and I assume are on antibiotics , it is probably safer to postpone long walks until you are totally well -since pneumonia affects your lungs, walking might be difficult - I would check with your doctor before you get back into your regular exercise routine

Shouldn't: Treatment of pneumonia is antibiotics along with resting until signs and symptoms of the pneumonia have resolved. Your physician will advise you when to resume normal activities. You don't want a relapse to occur.
