can double pneumonia kill you?

Question

I'm 92 and in good health

Answer 1

any type of pneumonia can kill someone but is its treated properly and its not an elderly person it shouldnt kill somenone unless its very severe and dont get proper medical care

Answer 2

I have emphysema and have had pneumonia and other stays in hospital. It depends how she is doing. Is she getting better or worse? The long stay may be because of many factors and the drug use could very well have her immune system run down and they want to build her back up before sending her home. Also could be she has several different bacteria goin on at the same time. May treat one, only to find another. It depends on too many factors to say, but I don't think two weeks means she won't make it. Go see her to keep her spirits up. As long as a person has fight in them they can make it.

Answer 5

You should Google this and go to the specific medical problem and there you will get the correct answer and treatment. For one thing, pneumonia returns, just like "poison ivy" and that is the "killer". Find the cause and cure the ailment, as the old saying goes, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".

Answer 6

NOT in this days if it is rightly diagnosed and treated well with all modern armaments including latest effective antibiotics with all supportive medicines like steroids and of course oxygen inhalation !Some time in very UN fortunate people it may result in death may be because of insufficient and well time treatment !Otherwise if the causative organism is not be responding to the line of treatment it may prove morbid or life threatening !But in general it is 100% curable.It is not a killer disease today !Yes for old days it was!waiting for your best marks !Always YouRsmE
