What are the different stages of pneumonia?
• Congestion – Accumulation of bacteria • Red hepatization – Extravasations (exuding or passing out of a vessel into surrounding tissues) occurs in the alveolar spaces (tiny air sacs of the lungs) • Gray hepatization – Red cells break up due to chemical formations. • Closure – The body’s enzyme activity digests liquids which can finally be thrown out or cleared by coughing. Are there any home based treatments for pneumonia? There certainly are home based treatments that can be pursued and done safely at your home. However, this should only be done with proper guidance and consultation with a medical health care professional.
