I believe this will help you.\n\nhttp://www.copd-international.com/\n\nGood luck. Pneumonia is not contagious, if caused by a cold, then that would be contaguious, you will not develop pneumonia unless you don't take care of yourself.

You can get something called chemical pneumonia from breathing chlorine fumes. The chlorine gas when it mixes with the moisture in your lungs creates hydrochloric acid and causes your lungs to secrete fluid, thus causing the pneumonia. I am talking a pretty severe exposure here. The sore throat is from a mild acid exposure and should pass. If you start coughing alot, I would go to a medical doctor and tell them what happened

It is just one of their ways-my husband had too to after being on a respirator for a month. Like I did wonder too-hes mind wasn't gone he had a infection in lungs. And they will test you-to be sure you are deserving-watch them no mater how nice they work for them-not you.

Apart from the obvious, go see the Doctor.  It sounds like you have had a throat infection which has moved to your chest.  The antibiotics you took were probably the wrong spectrum as they woundn't be having an effect if you stopped taking them over a week ago.  It may already be neumonia.  GO AND SEE YOUR DOCTOR! As it could be loads of things

A cough is a symptom, not a disease. It can't cause lung cancer.

Virus' cant be treated with antibiotics, you would use an antiviral med.  Pneumonia can kill you and it is treatable with antibiotics such as Keflex.

Maybe you mean "Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP)"?  I have never heard of pneumonia communal, but I practice in the United States.  If your sister lives in the US, I think she likely has CAP, which is the most common form of pneumonia.  It just means that she contracted it in a normal fashion (as opposed to nosocomial pneumonia which is contracted in an acute care setting like a hospital, or atypical pneumonia which involves different bacteria).  It is relatively easy to treat, but with your sister's cancer, she might have to be treated longer (usually treated in 5-10 days; she might require 10-14 days). P.S. - I just read the previous post - I would not pay much attention to that.  MRSA is completely different than community acquired pneumonia...I'm not sure where that person drew the parallel between communal and MRSA.

it should be fine to mix spiriva with the nebulizer.\n\nYes pneumonia is contagious, but it is LESS contagious than most people think. The cold virus that started the cough in the first place is contagious. But the pneumonia part of the illness down in the lungs is far less contagious. People who are exposed to someone with pneumonia may catch the normal cough and cold symptoms of the virus, but usually don't progress to pneumonia. The formation of the pneumonia is not determined by the particular cold virus or bacteria that the person has, but rather by each person's susceptibility in their own lungs.
