What does it mean when the physical examination form shows pneumonia?

When the physical examination form shows pneumonia, it means that the patient's lungs may have been infected with viruses, bacteria or fungi, and further examination and treatment are required under the guidance of a doctor. Pneumonia is a common respiratory disease that can increase health risks for patients if not treated promptly.

The main symptoms of pneumonia include cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, fever and fatigue. If a lung infection causes a patient's symptoms to be severe, the doctor may recommend hospitalization and treatment of the condition with antibiotics, antiviral drugs, or antifungal drugs.

The best way to prevent pneumonia is to maintain good hygiene and a healthy lifestyle, such as getting enough sleep, increasing physical activity, quitting smoking, and staying away from excessive drinking. In addition, vaccination against pneumonia is also an effective way to prevent pneumonia, especially for high-risk groups such as the elderly and patients with weakened immune systems.
