Pneumonia is typically caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi that enter the lungs. The most common way to get pneumonia is by inhaling small droplets from a cough or sneeze of an infected person. People can also get pneumonia through contact with surfaces or objects that have been contaminated with the germ, or by inhaling chemical fumes or dust. Certain medical conditions and lifestyle factors can make a person more vulnerable to pneumonia. These include smoking, a weakened immune system, chronic health conditions such as asthma, heart disease, and diabetes, and living in a long-term care facility.

Pneumonia is a lung illness resulting from the air sacks in the lungs known as alveoli being filled up with fluid or gas making it hard for a person to inhale enough oxygen to be supplied to the blood stream throughout the body. This condition can be dangerous especially if the condition is severe and medical attention is not available.

Pneumonia can affect people across all ages especially the toddlers and the aged because their immune system is still weak. On the contrary, some lifestyle habits like smoking and drinking alcohol can trigger this infection.

Pneumonia is caused by cold virus or flu virus and pneumonia bacteria.Using antibiotics, take rest , well balanced diet and always covering your body with heavy clothing can help in controlling pneumonia.

Pneumonia is typically caused by a bacterial or viral infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs. It can be contracted through the inhalation of infected droplets, or by touching a surface contaminated with the bacteria or virus and then touching your face.

The most common cause of pneumonia is a bacterial infection. Other types of pneumonia than bacterial ones include viral pneumonia, which is brought on by viruses like coronavirus.

Pneumonia is typically caused by a bacterial or viral infection that affects the lungs. It can be contracted through breathing in droplets from an infected person, or by bacteria that already exist in the body spreading to the lungs. Other risk factors include smoking, weakened immune system, and underlying medical conditions.
