The pneumonia has many faces

by Faye Reynard Health Care Fitness During sleep people often inhale or swallow the secretions from the mouth, throat or nose. Under normal conditions, the body triggers a natural reflex to ingested or inhaled back coughing up secretions and immune system prevents the infiltrators still in the lungs, the bacteria infect the body with pneumonia. In the event, however, that the person is in fragile health because of another disease recently spent those viruses and bacteria could cause a severe form of pneumonia. Once the organisms enter the lungs, they are usually a location in the where they multiply massively. The affected part of the lungs are filled with fluid and pus, while at the same time, the body tries to fight off the infection.

Patients recently healed from a viral infection, lung or heart disease, as well as alcoholics, drug addicts and people with suffering a heart attack, are at greater risk to develop pneumonia than others. http://primeequine.co.uk/blog/author/amyjane115/

Initially, patients with pneumonia are cold symptoms, followed by high fever (sometimes over 40 ° c), chills and a cough with mucus separation.

In other cases, the symptoms of pneumonia can develop relatively slowly. Sometimes the only symptoms may be worsening cough, headache and muscle aches. In some patients with pneumonia do not cough is the most important symptom, as the infection is localized in the upper part of the lung, away from the main respiratory tracts. Sometimes the patient's skin color may change and it becomes dark or lawn-a condition known as cyanogen. Cyanogen is due to the weak saturation of blood with oxygen as a result of deteriorating respiratory function.

Attention!
Small children and babies who develop pneumonia, often do not exhibit the characteristic for pulmonary disease symptomatically. However, they suffer from high fever, feel dropped and become lethargic.
