Keep your lungs clean and healthy
Pneumonia treatment at Pyunkang
The elderly are more vulnerable to colds due to weakened immunity, and the risk of worsening into pneumonia is higher,
often leading to complications and death.
Early treatment is crucial — if symptoms such as high fever, cough, phlegm, loss of appetite, fatigue, or rapid
breathing persist for more than 10 days after a cold, pneumonia should be suspected, and medical care sought.
The most common cause of pneumonia in adults is bacterial infection, with pneumococcus being the primary culprit.
Some types occur as complications of upper respiratory infections like the common cold.
In otherwise healthy adults, pathogens such as Haemophilus or Mycoplasma are also known bacterial causes.
In bacterial pneumonia, patients may cough up blood-streaked or rust-colored sputum and experience severe chest pain when breathing in.
Shortness of breath and high fever are also common.
Pneumonia caused by other pathogens typically presents with fever, loss of appetite, persistent cough, and difficulty breathing.
If inflammation spreads from the alveoli to the pleura, pleurisy may occur, and in severe cases,
bacteria can enter the bloodstream, leading to sepsis.
Children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems are at risk of
respiratory failure due to widespread lung inflammation, which can be life-threatening.
Pneumonia as a Complication
of Cold or Bronchitis
General malaise, fever, loss of appetite, persistent cough,
and shortness of breath are common symptoms.
Key Symptoms
Bacterial Pneumonia
Patients often cough up blood-streaked or rust-colored sputum,
experience severe chest pain when breathing, along with
shortness of breath and high fever.
Key Symptoms
For bacterial pneumonia, newly developed antibiotics are effective in eliminating bacteria quickly.
This prevents necrosis from spreading within the alveoli, reducing deaths from oxygen deficiency.
However, antibiotic resistance is becoming stronger, making certain cases more difficult to treat.
Additionally, even when bacteria are destroyed, if the patient’s immunity is weakened, the remnants may persist
in the body, leading to frequent recurrences even in younger patients.
Newborns, the elderly, and those with chronic or serious conditions such as diabetes have lower immunity and a higher risk of pneumonia,
so it’s important to prevent a common cold from progressing to pneumonia.
Because pneumonia often occurs as a complication of lingering colds or bronchitis, preventing colds naturally helps prevent pneumonia.
Above all, boosting lung vitality to build immunity and self-healing capacity is essential.

Introducing Daily Habits to Maximize Treatment Effects
Ventilation
It’s good to ventilate once every three hours, and regularly ventilate for over 30 minutes in the morning and evening. Although invisible, various fine dust particles in the air are not filtered and can settle in the bronchial tubes and lungs, causing rhinitis or asthma.
Maintaining Humidity
If the indoor air is too humid, the floor and walls can become damp and mold may grow. It also increases the risk of harmful substances in the air, such as dust mites. On the other hand, if it’s too dry, it can lead to respiratory diseases or worsen asthma. Therefore, maintaining a proper humidity level of around 50–60% is important.
No Smoking
Worrying about lung health while smoking is like jumping into the sea in the middle of winter and being afraid of getting your clothes wet. Smoking itself is harmful, but secondhand smoke also causes serious harm to those nearby.
Breathing Technique
Shallow breathing leaves carbon dioxide full of waste in the body. Therefore, it’s important to practice deep breathing to increase lung capacity, bring in more fresh air, and expel more of the stale carbon dioxide.
Clean and Hygienic Environment
Dust and mites can cause respiratory diseases. By eliminating the environments that trigger these conditions, you can lead a healthier life.
