 What is Pneumonia?

Pneumonia is a respiratory infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs. It can be caused by various pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, or fungi. When it occurs as a complication of the flu, it often leads to more severe symptoms and requires prompt medical attention.

 Why You May Need Treatment?

Timely treatment for pneumonia is essential to prevent the infection from worsening. At RapidCare Emergency Room, our experienced physicians can assess your condition and recommend the appropriate course of action. Early intervention can significantly improve outcomes and reduce the risk of complications.

Complications if Left Untreated

If pneumonia is left untreated, it can lead to severe complications such as respiratory failure, septic shock, or lung abscess. RapidCare Emergency Room is equipped to provide immediate medical attention, reducing the risk of these complications.
