Is a cold and fever considered pneumonia? Does a person s cold and fever have to be pneumonia?

A cold is a respiratory disease, so after suffering from a cold, you will basically have cough symptoms. Although the cold is not a major illness and is less harmful to health, some people may cause some other illnesses, such as pneumonia, after suffering from a cold. So, how do you tell the difference between a cold and pneumonia?

If you want to distinguish between a cold and pneumonia, you can look at the symptoms of cough, if you have pneumonia, you will basically have symptoms of cough and wheezing, and the degree is more severe, and it often causes dyspnea symptoms. When suffering from a cold, although there will be coughing symptoms, the patient will not have difficulty breathing.

Cold and pneumonia can also be distinguished by body temperature, when suffering from pneumonia, fever symptoms will appear, and the body temperature is relatively high, usually above 38, will last for more than 2-3 days, even if you take antipyretics, it can only temporarily reduce the body temperature.

When suffering from a cold, most of them will not have a fever, although the virus will cause fever, but most of them are low-grade fevers, basically not more than 38, and the duration is also short, and the effect is more obvious after the use of antipyretic drugs. Using the above methods, you will be able to distinguish between a cold and pneumonia. Once symptoms of pneumonia are detected, it is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner, and in severe cases, the patient should also be hospitalized**.

A cold can also cause a fever, and pneumonia can also cause a fever, but it does not mean that a cold is the same as pneumonia.

Cold and pneumonia can cause fever, the mechanism of the two is the same, both are because of the pyrogen factors cause the dysfunction of the thermoregulatory center, resulting in an increase in body temperature, but the two cause different pyrogens of fever, cold and fever are mostly related to viral infection, and pneumonia fever is related to bacterial infection, of course, this is not absolute.

The fever caused by pneumonia is more serious than the virus**. Cold and fever can be alleviated through diet, eat some light and easily digestible food, eat some fresh fruits and vegetables, such as apples, pears, cabbage, carrots and so on.

During the illness, it is necessary to pay attention to strengthening nutrition, eating more protein-rich foods, and drinking more warm water, which is conducive to the recovery of the disease.

Pneumonia fever is a common respiratory illness that causes pneumonia fever due to the body's weakened immunity.

It is not necessarily pneumonia, it may be a cold and fever caused by a common weakened immunity, and if there is no clinical manifestations of body fever, low-grade fever and dry cough, the possibility of pneumonia is relatively small. Under the guidance and advice of a doctor, you can take antiviral drugs to ** cold and fever, if the fever is more serious, you need to take fever-reducing drugs in time to reduce fever.

A cold is an upper respiratory tract infection, the lungs are the lower respiratory tract, and a cold ** is not appropriate, it may develop into pneumonia, but the cold itself is not pneumonia after all. Whether it is pneumonia or not must be diagnosed by a doctor.

Pneumonia may cause symptoms of fever, but a cold and fever cannot be pneumonia if an x-ray of the lungs shows no inflammation of the lungs.

If you have a cold and fever, that is, if you see a doctor in time, you will be fine, if you take it off, the fever will not go away, then it is easy to pneumonia, and it is not easy to treat.

Not necessarily, it may be a respiratory infection, and you have to go to the hospital for examination and final results.

Of course, not necessarily, if you catch a cold, you may have a fever. In fact, in most cases, the cold and fever are not pneumonia, or a common cold, and it is not a big problem to hurry up and take some medicine, if you have a fever how to take medicine, and the fever does not go away, then you should go to the hospital to see a doctor.

Cold and fever are not necessarily new pneumonia, cold and fever may also be an ordinary viral infection, common viral infection causes cold and fever in winter is still very common, especially if the patient has no contact history of new pneumonia, then just the symptoms of cold and fever are likely to be ordinary cold, in this case the possibility of new pneumonia is not large.

Cold and fever are not pneumonia, in most cases, the pathogenic bacteria of the two are different, colds are mainly viruses, a variety of viruses; Pneumonia is dominated by bacteria, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus. Of course, it is useless for you to use the method of **bacteria** to catch a cold, and it is also useless to use the method of**cold virus** pneumonia.

A cold and fever can cause pneumonia. Viruses and bacteria invade the lungs and cause pneumonia, and the clinical symptoms are cough, yellow purulent sputum, chest tightness, wheezing, dyspnea, leukocytes, procalcitonin will be abnormally increased, and it is necessary to actively anti-inflammatory and anti-infection**.

Of course not, but you have to hurry up**, it may develop into pneumonia if it is too late.

Not necessarily, some are simple colds, and severe fever can cause pneumonia.

Some colds can cause the formation of pneumonia, colds are mostly caused by viral infection, if there is no active and effective symptomatic treatment in the early stage, the disease can further progress to form the lower respiratory tract to avoid this pants infection, which leads to the formation of pneumonia, especially the cold caused by epidemic virus infection, which can form primary viral pneumonia or combined with bacterial pneumonia, so that cough, sputum symptoms are significantly aggravated and chills, fever and other symptoms appear.

At this time, it is necessary to improve the chest X-ray or CT examination, blood routine testing, etc. to confirm the diagnosis as soon as possible, and give a corresponding anti-infection as early as possible**. In addition, infection with the new coronavirus can also cause symptoms similar to colds, such as nasal congestion, sneezing, watery eyes, sore throat, muscle aches and diarrhea, but due to the reduced pathogenicity of the new coronavirus, most patients have mild symptoms after infection.

Hello, the common cold, flu, and new coronavirus infection are very different in epidemic and clinical manifestations.

1. The common cold is a virus that colonizes our normal respiratory tract, so there is no seasonality.

Influenza, also known as epidemic or seasonal, is contagious. In our country, the epidemic is actually managed according to the category C infectious disease, which will cause a large area of population infection, and there may be a risk of transmission between people.

The infection caused by the new coronavirus is more transmissible and contagious. Our country is managed according to Class B infectious diseases.

2. The difference between the symptoms of the three is:

The common coldIn general, for people with no underlying medical conditions and normal immune function, the symptoms can be relieved quickly.

Epidemic symptoms are more severe because it is associated with influenza virus infection, which may cause more severe systemic symptoms, such as fatigue and body aches.

In addition to respiratory symptoms, the symptoms of this systemic infection, such as fatigue, body aches, sore throat, including subsequent cough and sputum production, are relatively more severe than those of the flu.

Third, we must pay attention to these when we are yang:

1. Don't mix all the drugs together, the properties of the medicine are different, adverse reactions may occur, you must know that in different environments and different physical states, the same medicine may have different effects.

2. Sleep more, so that the body can repair itself, the immune system is fully mobilized, the garbage bags in the house and the toilet should be changed, and the cough and phlegm should be wrapped up and then thrown away, so as to prevent the circulation from damaging the environment in the house, and prevent the re-pollution of the house and the home environment of the brigade mill.

3. During the illness, it is necessary to keep eating, maintain nutritional intake, achieve less salt and less oil, light diet, control sugar and limit alcohol, and ensure sufficient boiled water or electrolyte water.

4. After the fever, it is necessary to pay more attention to the cold and keep warm, the body has experienced a high temperature battle, although the body surface temperature is normal, but the temperature of the internal organs and the bone marrow is still slightly higher. The overall energy of the body is in a state of exhaustion, pay attention to protection to prevent secondary infection.

4. How to determine whether the new crown infection has further developed into pneumonia?

The high fever does not go away, and the general body temperature is above 39. If the high fever lasts for a long time, it has not subsided for more than 3 days; Or if you have a fever at the beginning, and then you have a fever after you get better, you should be careful if there is lung inflammation.

Persistent cough or difficulty breathing, decreased oxygen saturation, increased sputum production, darkened sputum, or worsening of other symptoms.

In short, both new coronavirus infection and influenza can be transmitted through respiratory droplets, and the clinical symptoms are not specific, but they can be identified by nucleic acid testing to distinguish them from influenza virus infection. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to protection, wear masks, and wash hands frequently, which can effectively reduce the probability of infection.

I wish you good health.

The distinction between a cold and pneumonia can be judged by symptom examination, imaging examination, and sequelae.

Symptoms are different: People with colds will experience symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, fever, etc. Patients with pneumonia will have symptoms such as fever, cough, and sputum production.

Imaging tests were different: there were no obvious abnormalities on chest CT. Pneumonia can be seen on CT of the chest with patchy infiltrates.

**Sequelae: When the cold is relatively mild, the patient will recover in about 5 days after drinking the medicine. Mild cough sequelae will occur after pneumonia**.

Colds are divided into common and viral: the common cold is usually self-limiting, mainly caused by wind chill and wind heat, and can generally heal itself in 3 to 5 days. Viral viruses are mainly caused by viral infections and are divided into ......: conventional viruses, influenza viruses, and parainfluenza viruses

Pneumonia is usually caused by a respiratory infection, and then the inflammation caused by the infection progresses to the lungs.

A cold generally refers to an upper respiratory tract infection, while pneumonia refers to an infection of the lower respiratory tract.

The upper respiratory tract refers to the nasopharynx, and the lower respiratory tract refers to the trachea and all levels of bronchi.

Most colds are caused by viral infection, manifested as runny nose, nasal congestion, sore throat, headache, malaise, body aches and fever, etc., if it is caused by virus infection, it is self-limiting, about 7 days, can be completely, can be without drugs. If you have a fever and your body temperature is less than a degree, you can physically reduce fever, take a warm bath, and drink plenty of water. If it is greater than 38 degrees Celsius5, antipyretic drugs such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen can be used for symptomatic treatment.

Pneumonia is also caused by viral infections and bacterial infections, and the new coronavirus pneumonia is caused by the new coronavirus. However, most pneumonia is caused by bacterial infections, the most common being caused by gram-positive cocci, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, etc. Pneumonia is mainly manifested as cough and sputum, or even yellow sputum, and some people will present with fever.

If it is caused by bacterial infection, white blood cells, neutrophils will be elevated, C-reactive protein will be elevated, and some people will have an increase in procalcitonin. Pneumonia caused by bacterial infection requires the use of anti-infective drugs**, and penicillin drugs, amoxicillin, amoxicillin potassium clavulanate can be preferred. Or cephalosporin, second-generation anti-inflammatory drugs, such as cefuroxime or quinolones, such as ofloxacin, moxifloxacin.

In the respiratory system, colds and pneumonia are two relatively common diseases, there is a certain difference between the two, colds are generally caused by viral infections, while pneumonia is mostly caused by bacteria, mycoplasma, chlamydia and other infections, and can also be seen caused by viral infections; Colds are mainly manifested as the above respiratory tract infection symptoms, mainly manifested as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes, throat pain, headache, headache, muscle aches, etc.; Pneumonia is mainly manifested as bronchiol, bronchiolitis, pulmonary infection symptoms, manifested as fever, chest pain, cough, sputum production, etc.

The difference between pneumonia and a cold is as follows:

First, the location of the disease is different. A cold is an upper respiratory tract infection located above the throat, and pneumonia is a lower respiratory tract infection located in the lungs;

Second, the severity of the disease is different. Colds are generally mild, self-healing diseases, can be significantly improved in about seven days, or **, the ** cycle of pneumonia is relatively long, after about ten to fourteen days will be **;

Third, the drugs used are different. Cold patients can be given antiviral, antibacterial drugs orally** and oral cold medicines**, pneumonia patients generally need to be given intravenous antibiotics, antiviral drugs**, phlegm and cough relief, etc.**;

Fourth, the types of pathogenic bacteria are different. Colds are mainly viral infections, and pneumonia is mainly bacterial infections.

First, the location of the disease is different. A cold is an upper respiratory tract infection located above the throat, and pneumonia is a lower respiratory tract infection located in the lungs;
