Slight pneumonia has the possibility of self-healing, but the lesions may also progress gradually, so most cases need to be actively treated after the discovery of mild pneumonia.
1. Possible self-healing: In the case of strong immunity, mild pneumonia may rely on its own immunity to recover gradually, especially mild pneumonia caused by viruses, mycoplasma and other pathogens, which has certain self-limiting characteristics, and may be fully recovered without the use of drugs.
2. In the case of non-self-healing: mild pneumonia caused by bacterial or fungal infections, under some special circumstances, such as immunodeficiency patients, children, the elderly or long-term use of immunosuppressive drugs such as prednisone and other related people, even if it is a mild pneumonia, the condition may also have a more rapid progression.
Therefore, after detecting mild pneumonia, it is generally not recommended to wait for the condition to recover on its own. Instead, appropriate treatment should be given after detailed assessment of the condition under the guidance of a doctor.
