Why do you get pneumonia?

The causes of pneumonia may be:

Weak physical resistance, such as long-term smoking.

Upper respiratory tract infection has not been properly treated. For example, we didn't see a doctor correctly, didn't take medicine correctly, or abused cough medicine to stop coughing, which led to the retention of many bacteria in sputum.

If pneumonia really happens more than once in a year (some doctors mistakenly watch X-rays or abuse pneumonia for follow-up), the reasons may be:

Weak physical resistance (congenital or acquired)

There is a foreign body in the trachea. Especially children.

There are other heart and lung diseases, such as cancer, tracheal dilatation, pneumoconiosis, ....

Incorrect medical treatment, incorrect medication, or abuse of cough medicine to stop cough, so that sputum and bacteria accumulate.

There is something wrong with the working environment. Pay attention to improving air circulation and air conditioning system.
