Hello, Yes, it is better to go to the Emergency Department today. Detailed Answer: Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lung affecting primarily the small air sacs known as alveoli. Typically symptoms include some combination of productive or dry cough, chest pain, fever, and trouble breathing. Severity is variable. Pneumonia is usually caused by infection with viruses or bacteria and less commonly by other microorganisms, certain medications and conditions such as autoimmune diseases. Risk factors include other lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis, COPD, and asthma, diabetes, heart failure, a history of smoking, a poor ability to cough such as following a stroke, or a weak immune system. Diagnosis is often based on the symptoms and physical examination. Chest X-ray, blood tests, and culture of the sputum may help confirm the diagnosis. The disease may be classified by where it was acquired with community, hospital, or healthcare-associated pneumonia. If your husband really suffers from Pneumonia, most of the cases it is better to be treated with Antibiotika. Your husband suffers also from heart problems, that’s why it is better than a doctor sees you. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
