Pneumonia Sign #10: Confusion
One of the signs that a patient is suffering from advanced pneumonia is confusion. They can lack awareness of what is happening around them and even who is talking to them. This is a sign that they need urgent medical assistance.
Confusion is most likely to occur in aging people that are 65 years and above. If you have not done so already, it is time to get them to an emergency room as soon as you possibly can. Pneumonia can be fatal, so it should never be taken lightly regardless of the patient’s overall physical health.
