Because there is so much talk about pneumonia lately and superbugs I just wanted to put out there early symptoms of pneumonia.

High fever (up to 105 degrees)
Drowsiness
Rapid breathing
Chills
Cough with mucus (might be greenish or have blood)
Chest pain

What is viral pneumonia?
Viral pneumonia is pneumonia caused by a virus. About half of all people with pneumonia have viral pneumonia. Viral pneumonia is usually less serious than bacterial pneumonia and can take two to four weeks for recovery.
