I'm really worried about my mom. She's been having trouble breathing and chest pain for a few weeks now. We saw a cardiologist, and he recommended a chest X-ray and an ECO. His diagnosis was pneumonia affecting both lungs, and he prescribed some injections for a week. I'm really concernedhow serious is this? Is pneumonia something that can be cured easily?
