What are the symptoms of Bronchitis and/or Pneumonia?

It’s kind of like a constant “cold” that won’t go away. You may have a constant cough, lots of productive phlegm that comes up with coughing, chest tenderness from force of coughing, and difficulty getting your breath. If you think you may have either, get help immediately. Especially if you are known to have asthma, emphysema, or any other lung condition since the lungs have to work extra-hard with lung diseases. If not, eventually the end result would be tantamount to drowning in your own fluids.

A cough that just won’t go away, sore throat (more likely with bronchitis)), fever, possible pain in the chest (especially when taking a deep breath), coughing up colored (yellow, green, or red-tinged) sputum, wheezing, chills, and possible shortness of breath.

Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs most often caused by infection with bacteria or a virus. Pneumonia can make it hard to breathe because the lungs have to work harder to get enough oxygen into the bloodstream.Bronchitis is a respiratory disease in which the mucous membrane in the lungs’ bronchial passages becomes inflamed. As the irritated membrane swells and grows thicker, it narrows or shuts off the tiny airways in the lungs, resulting in coughing spells accompanied by thick phlegm and breathlessness. The disease comes in two forms: acute (lasting less than 6 weeks) and chronic (reoccurring frequently for more than two years). In addition, people with asthma also experience an inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes called asthmatic bronchitis.http://www.webmd.com/hw/pneumonia/hw63870.asphttp://www.webmd.com/content/article/7/1680_53729.htm water in the lungs
