How do you get phenomia?

Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs. It is usually caused by bacteria, but can also be caused by viruses, fungi, or other microorganisms.

Pneumonia is spread through contact with respiratory droplets. These droplets are released into the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. They can also be spread through contact with contaminated surfaces.

Anyone can get pneumonia, but some people are at higher risk:

* Young children

* Older adults

* People with weakened immune systems

* People with chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, or lung disease

Pneumonia can be mild or severe. In mild cases, people may only have a fever, cough, and shortness of breath. In severe cases, pneumonia can lead to:

* Hospitalization

* Respiratory failure

* Death

There are a number of things you can do to prevent pneumonia:

* Get vaccinated against pneumonia. The pneumonia vaccine is recommended for all children and adults over 65.

* Wash your hands frequently with soap and water.

* Avoid contact with people who are sick.

* Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze.

* Clean and disinfect surfaces that are frequently touched.

If you think you might have pneumonia, it is important to see a doctor right away. Early diagnosis and treatment can help improve your chances of a full recovery.
