Detailed explanation-1: -Spending long periods in bed does not cause pneumonia, but it does increase the risk. People who spend their days lying down without moving are likely to suffer from blood pooling, shallow breathing, decreased lung volume, weakened muscles, and mucus buildup.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most common cause of bronchopneumonia is a bacterial lung infection, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenza type b (Hib). Viral and fungal lung infections can also causes pneumonia. Harmful germs can enter the bronchi and alveoli and begin to multiply.
Detailed explanation-3: -Recovery also typically requires a lot of bed rest. Lying down on your back for an extended period of time can allow fluid or mucus to gather in your lungs. This gives bacteria a place to grow.
Detailed explanation-4: -Pneumonia is a form of acute respiratory infection that affects the lungs. The lungs are made up of small sacs called alveoli, which fill with air when a healthy person breathes. When an individual has pneumonia, the alveoli are filled with pus and fluid, which makes breathing painful and limits oxygen intake.
