can you die from Pneumonia?

Question

im 40 years old and just got it

im on anti biotics

Answer 1

Yes, but it's more usual for the elderly to die from it (and despite what kids say, 40 isn't elderly).

If you know you have pneumonia then I assume you've been to a doctor who likely prescribed anitbiotics (bacterial pneumonia is the most common type). If so, then you should be feeling better very soon. Don't worry and just get some rest.

Answer 2

Usually, no. but if you have other health conditions, especially respiratory conditions, it can be very dangerous.
My mother and mother in law died, both with pneumonia being a main cause of death. however, both were well over 60 and had other issues .

it is important you be under a doctor's care and follow hiis instructions.
Good luck

Answer 3

Yes, this can be serious. Follow doctors instructions. You need some rest . eat healthy / do not diet / but do not over eat. all food groups. take antibiotics / meds as prescribed.

you should make a full recovery but do keep your follow up appointments with doctor. any problems call doctors office or go to immediate care.
