Lung infections
Those who have a type of COPD are more prone to lung infections, whether bacterial or viral. It is crucial to get your annual flu shot, as it can protect against respiratory infections. If you don’t, you can experience a variety of symptoms, from mild to severe.
Cough that produces thick mucus, stabbing chest pains, fever, body aches, runny nose, shortness of breath, and bluish appearance of the skin are all symptoms of a lung infection. The H1N1 vaccine, the regular flu vaccine, and the Pneumovax vaccine are recommended for those with lung issues. If you know you’re at risk, please get your vaccines!
