✱ 1 – Trouble Breathing
You already know that you can experience shortness of breath when you have pneumonia. If you are also generally having trouble with breathing, that is not a sign of bronchitis. That is pneumonia and that can be serious as you can deprive yourself of oxygen. That can cause you t lose consciousness. You will need a breathing treatment if this keeps up.
If you believe that your upper respiratory infection has turned into pneumonia after experiencing these symptoms, then you need to be seen by a medical professional. If it is viral, it has to be waited out. If it is bacterial, you need to be on the right antibiotics for treating it.
