Bacterial Pneumonia

Bacterial pneumonia is an infection in the lungs caused by bacteria, leading to symptoms like cough, fever, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. When bacteria enter the lungs, they can cause inflammation and fill the air sacs with fluid or pus, making it hard to get enough oxygen. It can affect anyone but is particularly serious for young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. Treatment typically involves antibiotics, and in some cases, hospitalization may be necessary. Preventive measures include vaccinations and good hygiene practices to reduce the risk of infection.
