My father is in hospital now. He has been there for last 3 days. He has pneumonia that's not clearing for almost a month now. I am so concerned bout him, he is old, 79 years old and it is possible that this illness might prove fatal for him. Is there anything I could do?
Pneumonia is a condition in which air sacs in the lungs are filled with liquid. That causes a lack of oxygen that should flow in. Causes for this condition might be viruses, bacterias. The most dangerous type is atypical pneumonia, which emerges when the body's immune system has failed. I do hope that your father will be better soon, he is in good hands, the doctors will do what is best for him.
