I am seem to have all the symptoms for pneumonia.. l thought l just had a cold but it has lasted nearly a week and l have finally come to my senses and realised l should probably get it checked out :S ...except l can not get to the doctors until my mum gets home tonight!

so my question is, is there anything l should do until tonight... like sleep or eat oranges... i've heard gargling hot water might help... any suggestions?

your case is difficult because pneumonia should be attended immediatly

l found information that Apples are good to eat, for lung support . Apple Sauce if available Also the pressure point are in the hollow between your shoulder and collar bone. Press and hold for for a minute or two. l hope you can get there soon, it can be a streptococcal infection and a potent Antibiotic is usually the treatment. If you can call at work and one Parent may be able to come our early Best wishes, and get well soon.

yes if you are that ill you shud defiantly go to the hospital as so many people die from pneumonia my son spent 3 weeks in picu as his lungs collapsed as a result of getting pneumonia not sit and wait for a doctor hun

Call your mum or anyone who could take you and get to the hospital!

(if this is a serious question)
