What Are the Symptoms and Best Treatments for Pneumonia? - #14434
I recently heard about pneumonia cases rising, and I want to understand what symptoms to watch for and what treatment options are available. Some people say that pneumonia can be life-threatening if left untreated, but I want to know how it differs from a regular chest infection. Pneumonia is a lung infection that causes inflammation in the air sacs, leading to symptoms like fever, cough, difficulty breathing, and chest pain. It can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi, and in severe cases, it may require hospitalization and oxygen support. Many doctors recommend antibiotics for bacterial pneumonia, antiviral medication for viral pneumonia, and home remedies like steam therapy and hydration. However, I want to know whether natural treatments like Ayurveda or herbal medicine can also help in recovery. For those who have had pneumonia, what treatments worked best for reducing symptoms and speeding up recovery? Would love insights into the best ways to prevent and treat pneumonia naturally.
