What are the symptoms of pneumonia?
Patient: Hi, i am 62 female, (115 weight, height 5'0) and have history of Parkinson Disease. I have this disease since 15 years now. For about 3 weeks, i have a little bit of saliva coming from my throats, and i also have arm and leg pain, also i am loosing a lot of weight. So i wanna make sure, if these are symptoms of   Pneumonia??? Help will be appreciated. Doctor: Hi welcome to HCM....Just increased salivation doesn't suggest pneumonia ....The presentation in pneumonia is in the form of.....-chest pain -fever -cough -dyspnea For its diagnosis auscultation and chest x ray needs to be done .....X ray will show opacity in form of consolidation or interstitial infiltrate if pneumonia there ..Continue treatment for Parkinson disease ...Take care ....Advise : Physician consultation for examination....
