Reduce Risk of Pneumonia
There are several ways to reduce the risk of pneumonia, including:
Getting vaccinated against pneumonia, particularly for people who are at high risk such as older adults, young children, and people with certain underlying health conditions.
Practicing good hygiene, such as frequently washing your hands with soap and water and covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze.
Avoiding close contact with people who are sick, and staying home if you are feeling ill.
Eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and quitting smoking to help boost your immune system.
Treating underlying health conditions that increase the risk of pneumonia such as diabetes, heart disease, and lung disease.
Consult your doctor if you have any symptom of pneumonia such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, and muscle pain.
