Is there a fever with pneumonia?
My father recently had pneumonia, and he had a very high fever for several days. Is it common to have a fever with pneumonia, or is it possible to have it without a fever?

Yes, a high fever is one of the classic symptoms of pneumonia, often accompanied by chills and a nasty cough. Do not ignore this, get a chest X-ray and consult a pulmonologist immediately.

Haan ji, pneumonia mein bahut tez bukhaar aata hai aur sath mein thand bhi lagti hai. Hamare gaon mein jab kisi ko aisa hota hai toh turant bade doctor ke paas le jaate hain. Aap bilkul laparwahi mat kijiye.

Please get this checked immediately. I once thought my high fever and cough were just a normal seasonal flu, but it turned out to be severe bilateral pneumonia and I ended up in the ICU. Don't make the mistake of waiting.

Pneumonia is a serious lung infection, and high fever is definitely expected. While you must take the doctor's prescribed antibiotics, you can give the patient warm water with ginger and tulsi to soothe the chest congestion. Keep them warm and protected.

Oh God, yes, pneumonia fever can go very high and it's so terrifying when they start shivering. Please monitor their oxygen levels with a pulse oximeter continuously. If the oxygen drops below 94, run to the hospital immediately.
