Duration of the consequences of pneumonia

The consequences of pneumonia last for very different lengths of time. The pneumonia itself usually takes several weeks to heal in otherwise healthy young people. If additional complications occur, these last correspondingly longer.

How long these consequences last depends largely on how quickly they are discovered and how much time it takes to treat them. If the intervention is quick, the consequences can be minimized, so that the healing process is only prolonged by a few weeks. In the case of severe damage, however, it is also possible that these consequences will last a lifetime.

In the worst case, the complications of pneumonia or the pneumonia itself can lead to death. The duration of the consequences is therefore usually between several weeks and/or months up to years or even lifelong. Certain household remedies, which have an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect, can also be used to support the therapy.
