Are there varying degrees of Pneumonia?
I've just had a call to say my Grandad has it. He didn't look too bad yesterday :-(

It is usually treated with antibiotics successfully and I had it about 10 years ago. I don't think that it is the threat it used to be many years ago, but having said that my grandad was hospitalised with it back in the 50's when he was about 60 and lived until he was 90.
Hope Grandad soon gets better x

Aww ummmm! There are varying degrees. I had viral pnueumonia over my A levels and came through it fine though I was a lot younger at the time.
I was pretty much ok the day before, felt a bit off and thought it was hayfever then woke up the next morning and could hardly sit up or open my eyes and big problems breathing, mum called the Dr out and I was ambulanced to hospital.
He's in the best place and they should have been able to get him started on treatment straight away.
Let us know how he gets on.

they used to talk about 'double pneumonia' but this was apparently as a result of confusing 'pleural' with 'plural'. But yes, like most illnesses it can come in differing strengths. I had it for two months last year until they found the right antibiotics for me; worn out and wheezing and sleeping badly, but not in danger.
