What are the warning signs of pneumonia?
Dr Sudip Chowdhury, Senior Paediatric Consultant at Manipal Hospital, Gurugram explained that pneumonia involves alveolar infection that disrupts oxygen exchange, often indicated by dark-coloured expectoration, sustained fever and dyspnoea. “Unlike a regular cold, where your cough fades in a few days, pneumonia often brings a wet cough with yellow or green mucus that sticks around," he added.
