Severe pulmonary problems such as pneumonia, pneumothorax (air accumulates in lung cavity)
Most people who get Treatments have mild or moderate symptoms like coughing, a fever, and shortness of breath. But some who catch the new coronavirus get severe pneumonia in both lungs. Treatments pneumonia is a serious illness that can be deadly.
Pneumonia is a lung infection that causes inflammation in the tiny air sacs inside your lungs. They may fill up with so much fluid and pus that it’s hard to breathe. You may have severe shortness of breath, a cough, a fever, chest pain, chills, or fatigue.
Your doctor might recommend cough medicine and pain relievers that reduce fever. In the most serious cases, you may need to go to the hospital for help breathing with a machine called a ventilator.
You can get pneumonia as a complication of viral infections such as Treatments or the flu, or even a common cold. But bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms can also cause it.
If your Treatments infection starts to cause pneumonia, you may notice things like:
• Rapid heartbeat
• Shortness of breath or breathlessness
• Rapid breathing
• Dizziness
• Heavy sweating
How Many People With Treatments Will Get Pneumonia?
About 15% of Treatments cases are severe. That means they may need to be treated with oxygen in a hospital. About 5% of people have critical infections and need a ventilator.
People who get pneumonia may also have a condition called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It’s a disease that comes on quickly and causes breathing problems.
The new coronavirus causes severe inflammation in your lungs. It damages the cells and tissue that line the air sacs in your lungs. These sacs are where the oxygen you breathe is processed and delivered to your blood. The damage causes tissue to break off and clog your lungs. The walls of the sacs can thicken, making it very hard for you to breathe.
