Pneumonia causes inflammation and fluid in the small sacs in your lungs (alveoli) that makes it hard to breathe. You also usually have a cough and a fever. Pneumonia is more serious than bronchitis.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is a serious infection in which the air sacs fill with pus and other liquid. Lobar pneumonia affects one or more sections (lobes) of the lungs. Bronchial pneumonia (also known as bronchopneumonia) affects patches throughout both lungs.

Detailed explanation-4: -What Is Pneumonia? Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that may be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi.
