Most plaintiffs did not recognize about signs and symptoms of the pneumonia. For few who have received about the pneumonia, causes were mainly attributed to the coming into the contact with icy temperature in several forms. Management practices frequently were the self-treatment with the home remedies in addition to allopathic care.
