    Pneumonia is inflammation of the lungs caused by various causes and is a common respiratory disease. Pneumonia mainly refers to primary pneumonia caused by bacterial infection, and the most common pathogen is pneumococcus. Pneumococcus pneumococcus is usually found in the upper respiratory tract of healthy people, and it is generally not pathogenic, but only occurs when the respiratory defense function is impaired or the systemic resistance is reduced.

    Before the disease, there are often triggers such as cold, overwork, upper respiratory tract infection, and drunkenness. This disease is more common in young adults, more in men than in women, and is more likely to occur in cold winter and early spring.

    Pneumonia is infection with pathogenic bacteria when the body's immunity is low: pneumococcus, hemolytic streptococcus, Staphylococcus aureus, chlamydia, rickettsials and other pathogenic microorganisms cause inflammatory reactions, produce a series of symptoms and signs, fever, cough and sputum, chest pain, etc.

    There are many causes of pneumonia, such as bacteria (pneumococcus, hemolytic streptococcus A, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc.), viruses (coronavirus, adenovirus, influenza virus, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, etc.), fungi (Candida albicans, Aspergillus, radiobacteria, etc.), atypical pathogens (such as Legionella, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, rickettsia, Toxoplasma, Protozoa, etc.), physical and chemical factors (radioactivity, stomach acid inhalation, medications, etc.). According to the anatomical site, it can be divided into lobar pneumonia, lobular pneumonia, and interstitial pneumonia. According to the course of the disease, it is divided into acute pneumonia, prolonged pneumonia, and chronic pneumonia.

    Simply speaking, it is a respiratory infection, and a little more deeply, it is a streptococcus pneumoniae infection. Persistent cough after a common cold may be caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae.

    Pneumonia is a common and frequent respiratory infection in infants and young children. Modern medicine is divided into large page pneumonia, bronchopneumonia, interstitial pneumonia, bronchiolapneumonia, aspiration pneumonia, mycoplasma pneumonia and other diseases. The medicine of the motherland belongs to the categories of "rheumatism", "pulmonary wind and phlegm asthma", "fiery asthma" and so on.

    **The disease should be treated symptomatically, treating both the symptoms and the root causes, preventing infection, and enhancing the ability to resist disease

    1: Atomization**.

    Prescription: Houttuynia cordata injection 8 ml, normal saline 20 ml Usage: Mix the two liquids, do superbiotic nebulization inhalation, 15 minutes each time, 2 times a day Efficacy: 5 days of medication, ** rate of 100

    2: Prescription: 5 15 grams of honeysuckle and Houttuynia cordata, 5 10 grams of Forsythia, Baibu, Platycodon, Aster, Flea, Orange, almond, psyllium, mint and licorice.

    Dosage: 1 dose per day, decoction twice, take the liquid and mix, take it in 3 times Efficacy: Take the drug for 5 10 days, ** rate of 100

    Hope it helps.

    Hello, please don't worry too much, first of all, you can tell if it's a bacterial infection or a viral infection. Generally**It is anti-infection**, antibiotics are selected according to the pathogen, plus phlegm and cough relief. Pay attention to drinking more water and resting more.

    Causes pneumonia 1Gram-negative bacilli infection.

    It is more common, mostly Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, influenza bacillus, etc.

    2.Infection of pathogenic bacteria in respiratory conditions.

    In the elderly, due to the reduced immunity of the body, fungi and anaerobic bacteria often exist in the oropharynx, which can cause pneumonia.

    3.Co-infection.

    Older people often present with co-infections caused by multiple pathogens due to weakened immune systems. Such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, aerobic bacteria, anaerobic bacteria, etc.

    4.Drug-resistant bacteria are on the rise.

    Due to the abundant and widespread use of antibiotics, the genes of pathogenic microorganisms are changed and drug resistance is generated, among which gram-negative bacilli are the most prominent.

    There are many causes of pneumonia, including weakened immunity, lack of attention to oral hygiene, bacterial infections, respiratory infections, viral and fungal infections, and so on. Most of these patients are caused by bacterial and viral infections, but pneumonia may also be triggered if they are exposed to a highly radioactive environment for a long time or if they are infected with atypical pathogens.

    Many people are familiar with the disease pneumonia, most of the disease is children and middle-aged and elderly people, the early symptoms of pneumonia are easily confused with colds, so suffering from the disease, there may be a phenomenon of missed diagnosis, resulting in missing the best time. This will not only make the condition worse, but also increase the difficulty of **, and there are many reasons for pneumonia

    What is the main cause of pneumonia? There are many causes of pneumonia, mainly including three aspects: 1. Biological, such as bacterial, viral, mycoplasma, chlamydia, fungal and parasitic infections.

    2. Physical, including mechanical lung injury, radiation burns, etc. 3. Chemical, including interstitial pneumonia caused by drugs, pneumonia caused by acid reflux inhalation, etc. Among them, biological infections are the most common, and bacterial infections account for more than 70%.

    Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lung parenchyma, which can be caused by a variety of pathogens, such as fine yin, viruses, eugenics, parasites, etc., and other factors such as radiation, chemistry, and allergic factors can also cause pneumonia. Fever, cough, shortness of breath, dyspnea, and fixed crackles in the lungs are common clinical manifestations. Pneumonia is a common disease, and the mortality rate is particularly high in the elderly or immunocompromised people (immunosuppressants, organ transplants, tumors, diabetes, uremia, alcoholism, drug addiction, AIDS, or chronic illness).

    So we know that pneumonia will have some symptoms of cough and sputum fever, what is the cause of it, it is generally an infection of gram-negative bacilli.

    For example, if you feel E. coli infections, then there is also infections caused by some pathogenic bacteria in our respiratory tract.

    For example, due to our low immunity, especially some elderly people, this pneumonia is caused by a fungus or anaerobic bacteria in the oropharynx.

    There are also some mixed bacteria, some infections caused by bacteria, fungi.

    Fourthly, with the widespread use of antibiotics, the abuse of antibiotics led to our antimicrobial resistance and led to our pneumonia.

    It is also possible that our cold and fever are not treated in time.

    Hello, the main factors that cause pneumonia are: 1. Decreased immunityWhen the body's immunity is reduced, such as cold, fatigue, long-term smoking, etc., pneumococci can take the opportunity to invade the human body and cause pneumonia; 2. Bacteria: Many bacteria can cause pneumonia; 3. Viruses such as viruses and influenza viruses can cause pneumonia; 4. Fungi such as the fungus Candida albicans can cause pneumonia; 5. Atypical pathogens; 6. Physical and chemical factors: radioactivity, gastric acid inhalation, drugs and other physical and chemical factors can cause pneumonia.

Hello, pneumonia is a common disease that seriously endangers the health of children, more common in infants and young children under the age of three, can occur all year round, but in the cold and dry winter and spring and climate change when the incidence is higher, pneumonia mainly invades the respiratory system of children, causing fever, cough, wheezing and other symptoms. Because children are in the stage of growth and development, the structure and function of each system are not perfect, so they are easily affected, and in serious cases, they can even cause life-threatening.
