How many days of hospitalization for pneumonia can usually be cured needs to be decided according to the patient’s own condition. The patient’s age is different, the infected pathogen is different, and the degree of the disease is different, so the patient’s hospitalization time is also different. And most patients may need to be hospitalized for 1~2 weeks.
Pneumonia is the inflammation or swelling of lung tissue, which mainly includes bacterial pneumonia, viral pneumonia, mycoplasma pneumonia, chlamydia pneumonia, fungal pneumonia, and legionella pneumonia. It may cause symptoms such as fever, fatigue and drowsiness, chest pain when breathing and coughing, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and shortness of breath.
Under normal circumstances, common bacterial infections or viral pneumonia can be cured by active treatment in about 1 to 2 weeks. If the resistance is poor, the symptoms are relatively severe and combined with other complications, the treatment may be prolonged and may take longer.
In addition, there are severity levels of pneumonia, and the difficulty of treatment varies with different levels of severity. For example, if complications such as toxemia, sepsis, or infectious shock occur, anti-shock treatment is required. If there is lung abscess, respiratory failure, etc., appropriate treatment is needed, and the specific recovery time varies from person to person.
If symptoms such as coughing up sputum or coughing up pus are present, it is recommended to consult the respiratory medicine department of the hospital to find out if the symptoms are related to pneumonia. Early treatment is recommended to avoid further aggravation of symptoms or other complications.
