So today I hugged someone that has pneumonia?!


Question: So today I hugged someone that has pneumonia?
She has been on antibiotics at least 24 hours. No, I did not drink after her, or kiss her, or anything like that. Just a simple hug. Am I likely to get pneumonia? I have a fairly good immune system. I'm just worried.

If you are not sick right now, I'd say chances of you getting pneumonia are slim. Like you said, your immune system is good and contact with her was minimal.



It's best that you get tested by a doctor.



ask if it is communicable? to the person who has it.
