Hi! About four times for year I have pneumonia. Often I have respiratory infections. Now I will have a baby. I want you to ask Is pneumonia contagious? How to protect myself?
Hi! Yes – certain viruses that can lead to pneumonia are contagious. Every day people breathe in different types of bacteria, viruses or other germs. In general, it is nothing to worry about as our immune systems usually kill off these germs. But, probably your immune system is weak. You must take care about your immune system, eat food rich in vitamins, sleep enough and avoid crowds.
