How long can severe pneumonia heal?

The recovery time of severe pneumonia is uncertain, depending on the actual constitution of the patient and the intensity of treatment. General pneumonia can be cured in about 2 weeks, slightly more serious pneumonia takes 1 to 2 months to recover. If the patient's constitution is relatively poor, immunity is relatively low, the recovery time will be extended. Young people's constitution is better, so young pneumonia patients will recover faster. Severe pneumonia, if not treated in time, may cause respiratory failure and death. Patients need to go to the hospital in time for lung examination, symptomatic medication or supportive treatment. Pneumonia patients should eat more high-protein foods and exercise properly during medication to improve immunity and promote healing of the disease.
