Pneumonia is an infection that causes inflammation and fluid buildup in the lungs, making it harder to breathe.
The monsoon season raises humidity and dampness, which can weaken immunity and increase the spread of respiratory infections.
If you have noticed a surge in pneumonia cases where you live, watch out for these symptoms:
- Fever and chills (100°F to 102°F)
- Cough (wet or dry)
- Chest pain
- Difficulty in breathing
- Weakness, loss of appetite
- Nausea, vomiting, or confusion (especially in older adults)
Why this matters:
Early care can help manage symptoms and prevent complications—especially for children, the elderly, or those with other health conditions.
