Patient's question:
My chest is in excruciating pain. And sometimes I have very severe coughing. And recently, there have been instances of coughing that have caused my throat to break the skin. Moreover, I often feel that my mouth is extremely bitter. I suspect I will never have pneumonia, and I am seeking assistance on how to comprehensively prevent and treat pneumonia.Doctor's answer:
Chlamydial pneumonia comprehensive prevention and control: Chlamydia commonly causes upper respiratory and respiratory infections in children and adults. Currently, it is known that humans are the only host for this chlamydia, and the transmission method may be through respiratory secretions spread from person to person. Children under the age of 5 are rarely infected, while children and young adults over the age of 8 are more susceptible, especially in crowded places such as homes, schools, and barracks, where it tends to spread more easily. Through seroepidemiological surveys, it has been confirmed that at least 40% of adults have been infected with this chlamydia, most of them being subclinical diagnosed cases. The elderly can be reinfected.
