10 Symptoms of Walking Pneumonia
Symptom #7: Flu-like Symptoms
In the beginning of the illness, many people will confuse walking pneumonia with the flu because some of the symptoms are quite similar. As we have mentioned, walking pneumonia can cause a sore throat, a cough, and chills – all things that occur quite often in people who have the flu.
However, these symptoms are not identical. The cough is generally dry, whereas a cough caused by the flu will often produce some sort of mucus. The chills do not always indicate a fever, though this is sometimes the case.
