Viral Pneumonia Symptoms

  • Low-grade fever (less than 102° F)
  • Coughing up small amounts of mucus
  • Muscle aches

Symptoms of pneumonia caused by a virus usually go on for several days to a few weeks before you call your doctor. Most people with bacterial pneumonia get sick very quickly and see a doctor within a few days.
