How long it takes to cure pneumonia in adults is mainly related to the severity of the lung lesion specific condition, physical fitness and other factors, and cannot be generalized. Pneumonia includes lobar pneumonia, lobar pneumonia and interstitial pneumonia. In adults, pneumonia may present as cough, yellow sputum, blood in the sputum, fever, and chest pain. If the patient is younger, the lesions of pneumonia are mild and usually heal in 7-10 days. If the patient is in poor health, has a low immune system, and is older, it may take about 2-3 weeks to heal if the patient’s lung lesions are not severe. If the patient is more ill, it may take 1-2 months to heal. If the patient is bedridden for a long period of time, the pneumonia may be chronically prolonged. In addition, if adult pneumonia is caused by a primary disease such as cerebral hemorrhage or sequelae of cerebral infarction, the pneumonia can also be prolonged if the primary disease continues to exist. It is recommended that patients avoid smoking during treatment, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink water regularly, and can be consolidated and regulated with Chinese medicine at the same time.
