Causes and symptoms of pneumonia .VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.

Pneumonia occurs when pathogens  such as  viruses,  bacteria, fungi or other agents cross the protective barrier  (antibody)  of the body and enter the respiratory tract.  If it is not detected early and has timely treatment, it will easily lead to unpredictable and dangerous complications. First, learn about the signs and see what causes the pneumonia symptoms.

Signs  of  pneumonia

Signs of pneumonia are  often very similar to a cold and flu. Among the  symptoms of a lung capsule  , chest pain is the most common. Other common symptoms include:

- Fever

-Ho

- Chills

- Unusually fast breathing

Chest pain

Wheezing

- Vomiting

- Stomachache

Reduce activity

Anorexia or poor feeding (in infants)

In more severe cases  in children , the lips and fingernails may become blue or gray.

Analyze each symptom  for each cause:

In  young children , sometimes the only symptom is rapid breathing. With inflammation in the lower lung lobe near the abdomen, the child may have no respiratory symptoms, but may experience fever and abdominal pain or vomiting. Depending on the cause, symptoms can vary:

Viral pneumonia 

Symptoms usually occur slowly and are less severe than bacterial pneumonia. About half of all pneumonia cases are due to viruses. It usually begins with flu-like symptoms, headache, dry cough, fever, muscle aches, and fatigue. As the disease progresses, the patient may have difficulty breathing and cough up clear or white sputum. People with viral pneumonia are also at risk for bacterial superinfection.

Bacterial pneumonia

Symptoms usually occur relatively quickly, including chills, high fever, sweating, chest pain, difficulty breathing, coughing green or yellow thick mucus. Bacterial pneumonia is usually localized to one area (lobe) of the lung and is called lobar pneumonia.

Mycoplasma pneumonia

Symptoms resemble bacterial or viral pneumonia, but symptoms are usually mild and the patient may not even know he has pneumonia.

Fungal pneumonia

Some fungi can cause  pneumonia , though less common. Some people may have very few symptoms, but some people may have  acute  and persistent pneumonia .

Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia

Pneumocystis  carinii pneumonia is an infection of opportunities to people with HIV / AIDS. People with weakened immune systems due to organ transplantation, chemotherapy or treatment with corticosteroids or other immunosuppressants are also at risk. Symptoms of  pneumonia  caused by Pneumocystis carinii include persistent cough, fever and difficulty breathing.END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.10/8/2020.
