[|Human|] I was diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia on Sunday. I feel like I have gotten worse. Lost about 10 pounds suddenly. Have bruises that just appeared. Have had a low grade fever all week and sometimes up to 101 to 103. Any suggestions on what this could be. And very tired all I do is sleep and barely eat.
[|AI|]  Were you prescribed antibiotics for the pneumonia? If it's been a week, you shouldn't be getting worse. You might need a different antibiotic for this particular bacteria. I am especially concerned about the spontaneous bruises. This could indicate a problem with low platelets in the blood (platelets help the blood clot when bleeding occurs), which can be caused by some infections and also some types of medicines. The weight loss, extreme fatigue, and loss of appetite are also of concern. The pneumonia, if it is severe enough, could affect your oxygen levels and this could have serious effects. I recommend you go to emergency and be evaluated for these possibilities. It sounds bad enough that you might even need to be in the hospital awhile and get antibiotics IV. Hope this helps.
