Understanding Respiratory Infections and Pneumonia
Respiratory infections affect the airways and lungs and may be caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi. Common respiratory infections include bronchitis, influenza, viral chest infections, and bacterial lung infections. Pneumonia is a more serious infection that causes inflammation of the air sacs in the lungs, making breathing difficult and reducing oxygen supply to the body.
Older adults, children, smokers, individuals with chronic lung diseases, diabetes, heart disease, or weakened immunity are at a higher risk of developing severe respiratory infections and pneumonia.

- Persistent cough with or without mucus
- High fever and chills
