I have pneumonia. I'm 9. I just found out I had pneumonia yesterday. I took a blood test and 1 X-ray yesterday because of persistent high fever and extremely bad cough. i just hope that I will not need to be admitted... Wish me luck! Bye! 👋

I had pneumonia when I was little in the 70s & had it again this year in May. Both times in the same lobe left lower lobe. This year was the worst.

Very helpful for students! You packed a significant amount of information into an 11 minute video.

I had Penumbra about 7 years ago when I was 6 years old. I don't remember anything about it at all but I have been told I had a 106 fever and I was so sick I was unable to walk. I honestly had no idea what it was until I watched this video. The person who made this did a really good job at explaining.

I was diagnosed with it yesterday and tomorrow is thanksgiving. It sucks but it’s not as bad as a lot of other cases. Oh and a sinus infection at the same time makes it a bit worse but my eye color is awesome.

I'm 14 going on 15 I've was at camp and started having the symptoms and I go into the doctor's tomorrow to see if I have it

Jamie Magnate, monkeyarura, and Jenna, I see where you all are coming from. I've had asthma since I was a little kid and still have it now. Yesterday, I just went to the hospital and they diagnosed me with pneumonia AGAIN! I've had pneumonia when I was 1 1/2 - 2 years old and I was hospitalized for a while. I heard that my mom protested not to give me steroids for a year and instead, asked the doctors to only give me it until I feel better. That's then, and I don't remember much then. Now, I'm staying home from my school dealing with pneumonia and getting all sorts of medicine. They say I'm lucky I'm not hospitalized, but if I get worse, take me to the ER. I hope we don't need to go to that section of the hospital. To those who has asthma/pneumonia, good luck. This is the second time I could die. Oh, and what's weird is that I have pneumonia in early fall which is hot in 2017, so it could get a lot worse hopefully not.

When I was about 2 or 3 I almost die from it. When my mom took me to the hospital the doctors took her I was at my last stage and I probably wouldn't have made it the next day. Thank god for doctors
