Second, frequent and mucus cough is a specific sign of pneumonia. This cough usually contains green, yellow or rust colored mucus. Sometimes blood stripes can also be seen. Cough is persistent and can be so fast that even sleep or comfort can be interrupted. Difficulty or breathing is another major symptom of pneumonia. Due to low infected lung function, there is no adequate supply of oxygen, due to which the person has to force breathing or his breath starts moving sharply. Breathing can also breathe on minor activity, and in children it can often be seen as sharp breaths. Ceenia pain is also a serious sign of pneumonia. This pain is usually sharp when breathing or coughing, as the membranes surrounding the lungs occur. This pain can be stinging or sharp and often feels on one side of the chest.

In addition, muscle pain, fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite and confusion (especially in the elderly) may also have other symptoms. In some cases, lips or nails also indicate the lack of oxygen, which can be a serious condition of pneumonia. If you or someone in your family experience any of these symptoms, especially if they are in children or elderly, consult a doctor immediately. Timely diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia can only protect against serious complications and potential hazards. This disease can be serious, so avoid self-healing and prioritize the opinion of the expert.
