Yes having a cold or even flu that then turns worse can eventually turn into Pneumonia.

If you have or think you have Pneumonia you really should seek medical attention so that it can be treated before it could become worse which can be fatal in rare cases.

Having Pneumonia makes it harder to breathe as well as the other Pneumonia Symptoms including.

  • Chest pain when you breathe or cough.
  • Confusion or changes in mental awareness (in adults age 65 and older)
  • Cough, which may produce phlegm.
  • Fatigue.
  • Fever, sweating and shaking chills.
