Explore how pneumonia attacks the tiny air sacs in your lungs and how your immune system works to fight off the infection. Every time you breathe, air travels down the trachea, through a series of channels, and then reaches little clusters of air sacs in the lungs. These tiny sacs facilitate a crucial exchange: allowing oxygen from the air we breathe into the bloodstream and clearing out carbon dioxide. Pneumonia wreaks havoc on this exchange system.

I had pneumonia once, in the 2 or 3 grade. I remember my doctor thought it was asthma, and gave me an inhaler. After that didn't work, they diagnosed me with pneumonia. I stayed home for a week, and luckily, I got better to a point where I wasn't coughing 24/7. Then I was off to school again The worst part was the coughing. I was always coughing mucus, and I had to have a bucket near me at all times. I also felt nauseous, and had headaches. I hope none of you ever get it!

I got moderate pneumonia when i was a child, felt like my back was really heavy and felt heavy to walk, I had to take anti biotics, glad I recovered. I wonder if I can get pneumonia again or less likely since my body is prepared for it or something?
reply

Just a side note for people with pneumonia: Do not take any cough suppressants to clear the fluid in the lungs (like the video said, coughing is a coping method for pneumonia) unless indicated by a doctor.

Really important: brushing teeth and keeping dentures gums and oral surfaces clean is vital in reducing pneumonia feom aspiration when patients are ill or otherwise compromised, especially whrn vented. No swabs!
reply

The infection causes the lungs' air sacs (alveoli) to become inflamed and fill up with fluid or pus. That can make it hard for the oxygen you breathe in to get into your bloodstream

Ted-ed answers the questions we didn't know we had with perfect lectures and animations.
Especially now with the Coronavirus where we need to know exactly what's wrong.

I had pneumonia when I was 5. I was sick for weeks on end and all I could do was lay down, cough, and throw up. It was torture but I got out of school for like a whole month.

Trish Keenan band member of broadcast i think died from pneumonia from complications from of h1n1 virus at the time. Listen to the album tender buttons by them.

I really hope that in the near future humans may be able to create very effective cures for very common, but deadly diseases like pneumonia or diabetes

I wonder how much better would the body fight against pneumonia (without antibiotics) if we where to ground/earth our selves during the infection.
