Pneumonia Sign #6: Low Body Temperature
We are warm-blooded creatures, which means that we are able to generate our own body heat. This ability comes from metabolizing the food that we eat, and it helps us to keep our body temperature above a certain level. If our body temperature drops though, this is a sign that there could be something seriously wrong.
A low body temperature is not a common symptom of pneumonia. Indeed, most people are likely to experience a fever instead. However, it is a very serious symptom that should be treated as a medical emergency. It is most common in people that are particularly vulnerable.
