“How long does pneumonia last?”

Most pneumonias take up to 2 weeks to get over. That is because the nature of the illness is inflammation And irritation of the lung tissue within. This can happen with viral, Bacterial, Or fungal organism infection. Though in most cases it is considered to be treated as if it was bacterial, Unless viral test confirms active virus. That is because Most pneumonia are secondary infections after an upper respiratory and/or virus infection And therefore bacterial infections become more common. Most Antibiotics take about a week to work, But once the medication is done, the lungs still have to heal. That is where the two weeks come in. That being said, those who have a fungal infection could have substantially longer time to recover And might have anti fungal medication longer, But these are actually quite rare. It is also Noted that recovery time varies in people who have asthma, COPD, or restrictive lung disease; as their lungs are delicate and sometimes takes longer to heal. Recently with the covid 19 infections some people also have longer lung recovery times even if they do not have any prior lung disorders.
