I might have Pneumonia!?
Question:
So I've had an x-ray and I've still got to wait for the results.
Is there anything I can do to make myself feel better in the mean time?
Answers:
Pneumonia was a word I could not spell, and I finally got it at a very late age. Oh, it's my friend, Wabby. Sorry you are not feeling well ( again)
Well, you could be right, Pneumonia could be possible. I mean, you can catch pneumonia by the followings:
After you breathe infected air particles into your lungs.
After you breathe certain bacteria from your nose and throat into your lungs. This generally occurs during sleep.
During or after a viral upper respiratory infection, such as a cold or influenza (flu).
As a complication of a viral illness, such as measles or chickenpox.
If you breathe large amounts of food, gastric juices from the stomach, or vomit into the lungs (aspiration pneumonia). This can happen when you have had a medical condition that affects your ability to swallow, such as a seizure or stroke.
Pneumonia killed my grandfather :(
Don't be scared. It can be corrected. My Grandfather never went to the doctor; he simply stayed home and hoped to get better on his own. That's why he died.
Do you have a weak immune system? That would be the cause, too. Let's just wait for the resuilt to see what is up. Don't be worried, I am here waiting with you. Remember to let Dad know how things went.
I know you are an Atheist, but I feel the need to ask the Lord to bless your health. I hope this doesn't offend you.
Dad wishes you the best of health, Wabby.
There isn't much you can do except get plenty of rest. sorry if my answer isn't good enough. Feel better though!
the only thing you can do is rest.
Can you buy ascorbic acid (Vitamin C powder) in NZ?
Its very cheap.Here I can get 100gram (3,2 ounces) for 2US$!
If yes , go to google "pneumonia vitamin C" and read.
google"vitamin C bowel tolerance"- very good as well
Many ppl in the medical industry don´t like it, because there is no patent on it-no big money to make...
Same as with normal water.
Drink lots of water.
The vitamin C (very sour) I,d take with fresh pressed orange juice...
Rest in a smoke/dust/pollen free area...
btw
Vitamin C might reduce your allergies a well!
I caught pneumonia from not keeping warm in the winter last year. You should stay in bed and drink soups or other easy to eat food. And make sure you keep a bucket (for throw up), some water, a thermometer, and a cool towel by your bedside. And also try to get a lot of sleep.
Since you're NOT in your 40s+ you should be able to recover quickly once the doctors give you the medicine.
I HOPE YOU GET BETTER SOON!
