A thick breath sound in both lungs is of no value as a sign of pneumonia. Typical signs of pneumonia are localized moist rales or tubular breath sounds, so if this sign is present, it requires high vigilance. In addition, it should be noted that patients with pneumonia, based on these signs alone, sometimes can not get an accurate diagnosis, such as other diseases, may also be manifested as wet rales, such as pneumonia, may not exist wet rales or tubular breath sounds, may also be normal auscultation, or only manifested as coarse breath sounds. Therefore, to judge whether the patient is pneumonia, it is also necessary to combine the patient's medical history. If the patient has pneumonia-related manifestations, chest CT and other related examinations are also needed to further judge whether it is pneumonia.
