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?

I'm experiencing some side effects from using the Seretide Accuhaler, and it's starting to concern me. Is there anything I can do to manage these side effects better?
