What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of Pneumonia?

I have cold chills with a quilt and heating pad on. I started mildly coughing yesterday with a mild headache right now. I think i have a mild fever, feel a little sluggish and i just ate for the 1st time today. I m not tired covering myself up. I m not freezing and I am not getting hot. Is this pnumonia or walking pnunomia

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

Mild fever, the cough does not mean pneumonia, you are having acute bronchitis.

Undergo TLC, DLC, and CRP to see whether you need antibiotics or not.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Varinder Joshi,
