Walking pneumonia cases

Walking pneumonia is a mild form of pneumonia that is caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. It is characterized by a cough and sneezing, and can be spread through close contact with an infected person or by inhaling infected droplets in the air.

Walking pneumonia is most common in children, but it can occur in adults as well. Symptoms of walking pneumonia usually include a cough, which may be dry or productive, and sneezing. Other symptoms may include fever, chills, muscle aches, and fatigue.

Walking pneumonia is usually not serious, but it can be uncomfortable and can lead to more serious complications, such as bronchitis, pleurisy, empyema, and pneumonia. If you think you may have walking pneumonia, it is important to see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

There is no specific cure for walking pneumonia, but treatment can help to relieve symptoms and prevent complications. Treatment may include:

Rest

Fluids

Over-the-counter pain relievers

Antibiotics if the infection is caused by bacteria

Antivirals if the infection is caused by a virus
