Learn about Pneumonia and Its Home Remedies


By Dr. Mital John at 2011-03-29 06:06:01
Pneumonia is a common type of pulmonary disease that involves inflammation and infection of the lungs, triggering an overproduction of mucus at the level of the respiratory tract. The intensity and the duration of the symptoms generated by pneumonia differ from a person to another, according to factors such as age, overall health andA the immune system's capability of fighting against infections.

Causes of Pneumonia

Pneumonia is caused by inhalation of infected micro organisms spread through contact of infected person. If the body resistance is low, the natural process of fighting off the disease is weakened and the micro organisms are free to spread in the lungs. The sir sacs are filled with fluid and pus from the infectious agents making it more difficult to get oxygen hence resulting in sickness.

The main causes of pneumonia are

• Bacteria
• Viruses
• Fungi
• Parasites
• Chemical or Physical Injury to Lungs

The pneumonia symptoms initially begin with cold which is followed by high fever. A person suffering from pneumonia may experience shaking chills along with cough that has sputum production. The sputum produced may be discolored and in some cases it may also be bloody. Shortness of breath is often experienced by those suffering from this condition. Patients also tend to experience clammy skin because of the fever and chills.
