I've been off the boards for awhile with pneumonia and other very serious issues not to do with pain or health. Just wanted to chime in about safely using hydro during respiratory illness...

I asked for and received Vicodin Tuss (8oz) for the severe cough with my pneumo. I have gotten pneumo 3 times in the past 4 years and have always received the cough syrup. The only problem I have with hydro (as I do not take it regularly) is the spinning room scenario when I try to get to sleep. So, I had to be sure not to use the cough syrup within 4 hours of bedtime. Otherwise it is a very effective remedy for the coughing, chest pain and body aches associated with fever.




Nightshade...this is a new answer to an old post, but have you considered a pneumonia vaccine? They are good for 10 years against bacterial pneumonia, which I had twice in a year. Doesn't help agains viral, though.
