Are you an infant or elderly?

If not, you have nothing to worry about (unless you have an underlying condition)

Did it. Mine was coupled with an upper respiratory infection.

Was coughing up blood. And lots of it.

Took 14 days of levoquin and steroids.

103 fever on top of all of it

Kicked me right in the dick.

Not asking for prayers or anything. I know as long as I take care of myself for a few days and take Levaquin I will be fine.

NEVER had pneumonia though. MAybe I am getting old.

OP, if you have any complications take yourself to the ER and demand all tests done immediately. Not trying to scare you but healthy young people die from it all the time.

Man pneumonia is no joke. Make sure you stay on top of treatment for that! Best wishes!

Nothing to fool with my healthy non smoker 45 yr old cousin eventually was put in ICU and almost died of it a few years ago. He was lucky it was some kind of difficult to treat infection.

Good luck to you.

Had it last year. Went to the local 24/7 lake after hours and the gave me antibiotics, took half of them and was fine. Can’t hurt to go get a prescription.

What are your symptoms? I had chills, fever, and body aches on the 27th. Went to Lake After Hours to get tested for the flu and they said I didn’t have it. They gave me a shot and I felt better but then a cough started.The chills, fever, and aches went away after that shot but this cough is still going strong. I did call a doctor and got prescribed some cough meds and an inhaler but they are not really helping.

Just a constant cough. going on 2 weeks. At night it is like a pack a day smoker. I've never smoked.

I returned to doc because I knew I had bronchitis. Wanted a cough med and antibiotics. I got them...LOL. And prednisone, and an inhaler

I have a good friend currently in ICU, this all started with the flu and took a turn for the worse. OP may not have asked for prayers but I’ll send them anyway.
