What Is Atypical Pneumonia?
10. What Is the Prognosis of Atypical Pneumonia?
The symptoms associated with walking pneumonia are less severe than with regular pneumonia, so most people who get infected will get over it fairly easily. For some, it may go away without any medical help. For others, they often begin to feel better after a couple of days of taking antibiotics. The cough may persist, however, for a few weeks.
People who experience more severe infections may require not only antibiotics but also hospitalization. In general, the majority of atypical pneumonia cases are easily treatable.
