Dr. Rajendra Prasad Warns Against Underestimating Pneumonia
Pneumonia is a serious lung sickness caused by tiny germs like bacteria, viruses, or fungi.
It can make it hard to breathe and is especially dangerous for little kids, older people, and those who are already sick.
Doctors say if you have a bad cough, fever, or trouble breathing, you should see a doctor right away because pneumonia can be cured if caught early.
To stay healthy, it's important to wash your hands a lot, eat good food, and get special shots like the pneumococcal and flu vaccines.
These help protect your lungs and keep you from getting sick.
Doctors remind everyone not to ignore the signs of pneumonia because every breath counts.
