I have the symptoms for pneumonia but I can't get to the doctors untill tonight!?

Question

I'm seem to have all the symptoms for pneumonia.. I thought I just had a cold but it has lasted nearly a week and I have finally come to my senses and realised I should probably get it checked out :S ...except I can't get to the doctors until my mum gets home tonight!

so my question is, is there anything I should do until tonight... like sleep or eat oranges... i've heard gargling hot water might help... any suggestions?

Answer 1

yes if you are that ill you shud defiantly go to the hospital as so many people die from pneumonia  my son spent 3 weeks in picu as his lungs collapsed as a result of getting pneumonia not sit and wait for a doctor hun

Answer 2

your case is difficult because pneumonia should be attended immediatly

Answer 3

I found information that Apples are good to eat, for lung support . Apple Sauce if available Also the pressure point are in the hollow between your shoulder and collar bone. Press and hold for for a minute or two. I hope you can get there soon, it can be a streptococcal infection and a potent Antibiotic is usually  the treatment. If you can call at work and one Parent may be able to come our early  Best wishes, and get well soon.

Answer 4

Call your mum or anyone who could take you and get to the hospital!
