Don't worry about food. Chicken soup cures all infections. It used to be thought an old wives tale but now shown to be a benefit. Rest as much as you can, when you can or you may relapse.

Solid advice already taken. Invested in a proper face mask with removable filter and am planning on bite size sections of carpet for the skip!

I've had a chest infection for the last couple of days and I can honestly say the night-times have been some of the worst few hours of my life. I just hope I sleep well tonight. No shut eye between 1am-8am and I'm aching all over my body. I get a thirst for cold Lucozade still orange but going downstairs to the fridge at 6am feels like a real challenge. No energy and I just don't feel like eating anything - just a couple of light pancakes tonight.
It's comes to something when you have to go back to your mum's to keep an eye on you. G/F is always at work so if I was to stay there I could make her ill. I'm thrashing around all night and moaning in pain. I've even had to get my mum to phone work - quite pathetic! At least she's really helping me.
Hope you feel better soon, Barham's Tash and I'm lucky that I don't have the stresses that you have at the moment. Hopefully each day you will feel better.
ouch ....that sounds like a proper bout of flu mate .......i had it a few years ago and i though i was dying , i don't get sick often but that was horrendous , don't worry about the food just get plenty of water or lemonade into you ...get well soon mate .

What other sorts of pneumonia are there aside from viral pneumonia?
Antibiotics are for bacterial infections and cannot cure a viral infection, you need anti virals, but they can stop/cure secondary bacterial infections, which is what you may have by now.
Good luck.

Bacterial pneumonia is a thing but the doc thinks I just picked up some kind of bug. I try not to question her as she’s usually very good and since the antibiotics kicked in I’m feeling better.
