Understanding Pneumonia

Pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs, which may fill with fluid or pus. While it can range from mild to life-threatening, especially for infants, young children, people over age 65, and those with weakened immune systems or chronic health problems, timely and appropriate pneumonia treatment is crucial for a full recovery.

Common Symptoms of Pneumonia:

Cough, which may produce phlegm (mucus)
Fever, sweating, and shaking chills
Shortness of breath
Chest pain that worsens when you breathe or cough
Fatigue and muscle aches
Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
Headache

When to Seek Urgent Care for Pneumonia:

If you experience any of the symptoms, especially if they are severe or worsen rapidly, it's important to seek medical attention. Our centers are equipped to diagnose and begin treatment promptly. Don't delay care if you notice:

Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
Chest pain
Persistent fever (102°F or higher)
Persistent cough, especially with pus-like phlegm
Worsening of existing chronic conditions

Our Comprehensive Approach to Pneumonia Treatment

At Som Medical Practice, our approach to pneumonia treatment is patient-centered and designed for effective recovery. Our pneumonia doctors focus on accurate diagnosis, personalized treatment plans, and supportive care to help you regain your health.

Personalized Medication Management:

Depending on the type of pneumonia (bacterial, viral, or fungal), treatment may involve antibiotics, antiviral medications, or antifungal medications. Our providers will prescribe the most appropriate medication and monitor your response.

Oxygen Therapy

For patients experiencing significant shortness of breath or low oxygen levels, supplemental oxygen may be administered to ensure adequate oxygenation.

Supportive Care

This includes recommendations for rest, hydration, and fever reducers to manage symptoms and support your body's healing process.

Monitoring & Follow-up

We emphasize close monitoring of your condition and schedule follow-up appointments to ensure the infection clears completely and lung function improves.

What to Expect : Our Thorough Diagnostic Process

Accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone of effective pneumonia care. At our centers, our doctors utilize a comprehensive diagnostic process to identify the cause and severity of your condition.

Detailed Symptoms Analysis: We will conduct a thorough review of your symptoms, medical history, and any potential exposures to understand your condition fully.

Blood Tests: Blood tests may be performed to check for signs of infection, assess your overall health, and sometimes identify the specific type of germ causing the pneumonia.

Physical Examination: Our providers will perform a physical exam, listening to your lungs for abnormal sounds like crackling or wheezing.

Chest X-ray: A chest X-ray is a crucial diagnostic tool that allows us to visualize the lungs and identify signs of infection or inflammation characteristic of pneumonia.

Pulse Oximetry: This non-invasive test measures the oxygen level in your blood, helping us determine if your lungs are effectively delivering oxygen to your body.
