Question

my dad has the walking amonia can this kill him

Answer 1

Perhaps he's got walking pneumonia.

Walking pneumonia is an outdated term referring to pneumonia (infection of the small air-filled sacs of the lung) which does not cause significant disability. People who are affected by walking pneumonia do not require hospitalization and are often able to continue participating in school or work functions. Although these mild cases of pneumonia can be caused by any number of microorganisms, infection with viruses such as influenza and respiratory syncytial virus or atypical bacteria such a Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, or Legionella pneumophila are common causes.

Treatment, when necessary, is typically with oral antibiotics such as amoxicillin, a macrolide like azithromycin or clarithromycin, or a fluoroquinolone, e.g., levofloxacin.

Prognosis is excellent with symptoms typically resolving after a week or less

Answer 2

Walking pneumonia - usually refers to someone with pneumonia that is sick but not requiring hospitalization. It is very important to diagnose the cause of the organism causing the infection because the treatment is very different. Mycoplasma - the most common cause of walking pneumonia responds best to Erythromycin.
