what is pneumonia
Pneumonia is caused by bacteria and viruses. Pneumonia causes infection in the lungs. This causes difficulty in breathing. Due to this the body does not get the right amount of oxygen. Due to which the patient may die. Most cases of pneumonia occur in children. Children whose immunity is weak are at greater risk. There are four stages of pneumonia. Of these, the fourth stage is the most dangerous. In this stage, there is swelling in the lungs and the lungs are not able to function properly. Due to which the patient dies.
What is the situation in India?
Dr. Deepak Kumar Suman, former resident of Safdarjung Hospital, says that cases of pneumonia occur every year in India too. This disease spreads more during changing seasons. A large number of children get infected with pneumonia during monsoon and winter. In some cases, there is also a risk of death. Since pneumonia is an infectious disease, there is a need to be cautious about it. This is because by coming in contact with the drops that come out from the nose or mouth during coughing and sneezing of a person suffering from pneumonia, another person also gets infected. This is the reason why pneumonia spreads from one person to another.
Is there a threat like China?
Dr. Ajay Kumar, a senior physician in Delhi, says that pneumonia cases are increasing in China, but it is not necessary that the cases will increase in India also. Pneumonia is a very old disease in India and there are medicines and flu vaccine for it. In such a situation, there is no need to panic in India. People are advised to take care of the health of their children. If the child has cough, cold or fever, get him treated immediately.
