12 Common Signs And Symptoms Of Pneumonia

12. Lower-Than-Normal Body Temperature

My Health 1st

Another common symptom of pneumonia is having a lower-than-normal body temperature, however its one sign that’s more common in infants, younger children and elderly patients. It’s also more common in patients with lowered or weak immune systems. If there’s one thing that this symptom tells us is that it’s possible to have pneumonia and not have a fever, which is quite misleading. This is yet one other reason why it’s important to not only know your body, but to watch out for any symptom of sickness, and seek out medical assistance as soon as possible, especially if you notice any symptoms worsening over time.
