Hi, I got really sick back in December with what i believe was a chest infection, but i never went to the doctor. and now i have orange saliva in the morning, my upper gum bleeds pretty often and i have not been feeling myself lately. i have a feeling that being sick back in december is coming back to bit me in the ass, just want to make sure i dont have like walking pneumonia or anything?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of gum infection is more in your case. Pneumonia causes cough, fever, expectoration and chest pain. You are not having any of the above-mentioned symptoms. So possibility of pneumonia is unlikely in your case. Gum and tooth infection can cause similar symptoms. So better to consult dentist and get done clinical examination of your teeth and gums. To rule out pneumonia, chest x-ray is needed. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
