You might try an ACE bandage snugly wrapped around the injured muscle.  But don't wrap it so tight that you can't take deep breaths, that could cause you to get pneumonia.  You may also want to go to a medical supply store and see if they have anything that they could recommend.  I've pulled chest muscles and it HURTS!  I feel your pain.

Pneumonia is a bacterial infection of the lungs, and there are many strains and bacterias responsible for the infection.\n\nSome bugs are more infectious than others, and some are able to hop from one body to the other through the air.  Those are the worst so far as being contagious.

Pneumonia (say: new-mo-nya) is an infection of one or both lungs. To know what that means, you have to know something about lungs and what they do. When you breathe in, you pull oxygen into your lungs. That oxygen travels through breathing tubes and eventually gets into your blood through the alveoli (say: al-vee-oh-lie). \n\nAlveoli are tiny air sacs covered in tiny blood vessels called capillaries. How can something so small get oxygen into your blood? You have about 600 million of them! When oxygen-rich air reaches the alveoli, it can be absorbed into the blood. Then your red blood cells can carry oxygen all over your body. The body needs oxygen to keep working properly and to stay alive. \n\nBut if a person has pneumonia, his or her lungs can't do this important job very well. Why? Because this kind of infection creates fluid that blocks the alveoli. This makes it hard for oxygen to get deep into the lungs, where it can be passed through to the blood. The person can still breathe, but it might be hard to breathe, especially if the pneumonia affects both lungs.\n\nPneumonia can happen to people at any age, from tiny babies to really old people. Getting wet doesn't cause pneumonia, but an infection from bacteria or a virus does. A cold or flu that gets worse can turn into pneumonia. That's because the cold or flu will irritate the lungs, creating an environment where it's easier for pneumonia germs to move in and start an infection.

WHAT IS EMPHYSEMA?\n\nEmphysema is a condition in which the walls between the alveoli or air sacs within the lung lose their ability to stretch and recoil. The air sacs become weakened and break.  Elasticity of the lung tissue is lost, causing air to be trapped in the air sacs and impairing the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Also, the support of the airways is lost, allowing for airflow obstruction.\n\n  \nEarly symptoms include shortness of breath and cough.  \nSymptoms of emphysema include shortness of breath, cough and a limited exercise tolerance. Emphysema and chronic bronchitis frequently co-exist together to comprise chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD does not include other obstructive lung diseases such as asthma.\n\nI'm a Respiratory Therapist. If you have more questions, please feel free to email me @ mike.marlow@yahoo.com

History: \n\nBackground: Upper respiratory infections are common infections and include pharyngitis, sinusitis, epiglottitis, laryngotracheitis, and the common cold. Viruses play a significant role in the pathogenesis of many of these infections. Bacteria and other organisms also are responsible. \n\nPharyngitis is an inflammatory process of the pharynx, hypopharynx, uvula, and tonsils that can be caused by viral or bacterial infection and, occasionally, both. Distinguishing between these infections is important because rheumatic fever and acute glomerulonephritis may complicate untreated group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal infections (GAS), but they usually can be prevented by appropriate antibiotic treatment. \n\nSinusitis is an inflammatory process involving the paranasal sinuses (maxillary, frontal, ethmoid, and sphenoid). It usually is a bacterial complication of a viral upper respiratory infection. \n\nEpiglottitis is a life-threatening disease observed most frequently in children aged 1-6 years, often during the fall and winter. Although less common, it also can affect adults. \n\nLaryngotracheitis usually is the result of viral infection. The subglottic area and trachea are involved, whereas the area above the true vocal cords is spared. When children younger than 5 years have the infection, it is called croup. \n\nThe common cold is a mild, self-limited, catarrhal syndrome caused, for the most part, by members of 5 families of viruses. A small proportion of colds are complicated by bacterial infections of the paranasal sinuses and the middle ear, which require antimicrobial therapy.\n\n\nPathophysiology: In infectious pharyngitis, bacteria or viruses may invade the pharyngeal mucosa directly, causing a local inflammatory response. Other viruses, such as Rhinovirus, cause irritation of pharyngeal mucosa secondary to nasal secretions. \n\nStreptococcal infections are characterized by local invasion and release of extracellular toxins and proteases. In addition, M protein fragments of certain serotypes of GAS are similar to myocardial sarcolemma antigens and are linked to rheumatic fever and subsequent heart valve damage. Acute glomerulonephritis may result from antibody-antigen complex deposition in glomeruli. \n\nThe most common local predisposing cause of suppurative sinusitis is a viral upper respiratory tract infection. Inflammation and edema in the ostial meatal complex can obstruct the sinus ostium, leading to hypo-oxygenation of the sinus, disturbed ciliary and mucous blanket function, and diminished local resistance. \n\nIn epiglottitis, supraglottic structures become inflamed and edematous, leading to narrowed airway and respiratory compromise. Epiglottitis in children almost always is caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b (HIB). In adults, it frequently is nonbacterial. \n\nLaryngitis mainly affects children and begins with a prodrome of a few days of a mild viral upper respiratory infection. As the infection extends to the proximal trachea, diffuse inflammation with exudate and edema of the subglottic area causes narrowing of the airway. The cricoid ring of the trachea, in the immediate subglottic area, is the narrowest portion of the airway in a child. A small amount of edema can cause significant airway obstruction. Inspiratory stridor occurs when air flows through this narrowed subglottic area. \n\nInfection with common cold viruses characteristically is short in duration and self-limited.\n\n\nFrequency: \n\n\nIn the US: Children in day care in the United States are estimated to have an upper respiratory infection approximately every 3 weeks from the age of 6 months to 2 years. The incidence then decreases, and, by the time of school entry, a child has about 3-6 episodes of upper respiratory infection per year. Most of these infections include pharyngitis and/or laryngitis. Viral upper respiratory infections frequently occur in mini-epidemics. They are more common in the winter, except for those caused

Pneumococcal disease is caused by bacteria (Streptococcus pneumoniae) that can attack different parts of the body. The bacteria can cause serious infections of the lungs (pneumonia), the bloodstream (bacteremia) and the covering of the brain (meningitis). \nhttp://www.idph.state.il.us/public/hb/hbpneumo.htm\n\n\n\nPneumococcal disease is a leading cause of serious illness in children and adults throughout the world. The disease is caused by a common bacterium, the pneumococcus, which can attack different parts of the body. When bacteria invade the lungs, they cause the most common form of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia; when bacteria invade the bloodstream, they cause bacteremia; and when they invade the covering of the brain, they cause meningitis. Pneumococci may also cause otitis media (middle ear infection) and sinusitis. Currently there are more than 90 known pneumococcal types; the ten most common types account for approximately 62 percent of invasive disease worldwide.\nhttp://www.nfid.org/factsheets/pneumofacts.html\n:)

Sometimes fluid accumulates between the thin, transparent membrane (pleura) covering your lungs and the membrane that lines the inner surface of your chest wall — a condition known as pleural effusion\n\nNormally, the pleurae are silky smooth, allowing your lungs to slide easily along your chest wall when you breathe in and out. But when the pleurae around your lungs become inflamed (pleurisy) — often as a result of pneumonia — fluid can accumulate and may become infected (empyema). In that case, you may have a tube placed between your ribs to drain the fluid or, occasionally, a surgical procedure to clear out some of the infected material.
