This disease is an acute infection of the lungs. It often occurs after other respiratory illnesses such ad measles, whooping cough , flu, bronchitis, asthma or any very serious illness, especially in babies and old people. Also a person with AIDS may develop pneumonia.

The sign that one has been infected with it is that:

- Cold sores often appear on the face or lips.

- Rapid, shallow breathing. With little grunts or sometimes wheezing. The nostrils may spread with each breath.

- Fever ( sometimes newborns and old or very weak persons have severe pneumonia with little or Jo fever).

- Cough ( often with yellow, greenish, rust colored, or slightly bloody mucus).

- Sudden chills and then high fever.

- The person looks very I'll.

A very sick child who takes more than 60 shallow breaths a minute probably has pneumonia.

Treatment:

- If the person is wheezing , an anti- asthma medicine with theophyline or ephedrine may help.

- Ease the cough and loosen the mucus by giving the person plenty if water and having him breathe hot water vapors. Postural drainage may also help.

- Give aspirin or acetaminophen (paracetamol) yo lower the temperature and lessen the pain.

- Give plenty of liquids. If the person will not eat, give him liquid foods or Rehydration Drink.
