What Are the Symptoms of Pneumonia?
Very mild cases of pneumonia (often referred to as walking pneumonia) can feel like a common cold. In other cases, symptoms may be more pronounced and involve:
- A persistent cough that may produce mucus
- Chest tightness that worsens when coughing or breathing deeply
- Shortness of breath
- Fever, sweating, or chills
- Nausea or vomiting
- Fatigue
- Headache
When Should I Seek Treatment for Pneumonia?
It’s a good idea to visit a reputable immediate care provider like PhysicianOne Urgent Care if your pneumonia symptoms persist for more than a few days or you experience a fever that stays around 102 degrees Fahrenheit. In the event that someone around you displays signs of a life-threatening lung infection—such as confusion, trouble breathing, chest pain, and bluish lips or fingernails—call 911 or head straight to the nearest emergency room.
