What Is Atypical Pneumonia?
5. What Are the Symptoms?
The symptoms of atypical pneumonia often vary based on the infection cause. Symptoms may also come on gradually and worsen over the course of six days. Some common symptoms are flu-like symptoms, such as chills, fever and body aches and a persistent cough. Fatigue is also extremely common.
Additional symptoms include a sore and itchy throat; joint and muscle pain; chest pain, especially with deep breaths; and a constant headache. Some people with walking pneumonia who also have impaired immune systems may have additional health issues, such as ear infections or rashes.
