Common pneumonia may also be contagious.
Ordinary pneumonia is usually pneumonia infected by bacteria, mycoplasma, chlamydia, viruses, etc. If the pathogens are mycoplasma chlamydia and viruses, there may be human-to-human transmission. Especially the elderly, children, people with weakened immunity, or the presence of underlying lung diseases are more likely to be infected.
Patients with pneumonia use different anti-inflammatory medications depending on the bacterial infection according to their doctor’s recommendations. For example, penicillins are used for Streptococcus pneumoniae, and erythromycin and azithromycin are used for Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydia.
In general, pneumonia is contagious and should be protected and treated after the pathogen has been identified.
