Symptoms
There are two types of pneumonia: Bacterial and non-bacterial. The names are fairly self explanatory. Bacterial is caused by bacteria, and non-bacterial is not. Bacterial pneumonia comes on more suddenly, normallly after having a cold or the flu. Non-bacterial comes on slowly and a person will not feel as sick as they would with bacterial. Both share similar symptoms:
-Coughing -Fast heart rate
-Fever -Nausea, vomiting
-Shaking, chills -Shortness of breath
-Chest pains
