THE TREATMENT OF PNEUMONIA

Infections is favored by cold; therefore, the patient should be well protected at all times even when changing the bed linen, but, of course, do not go to the other extreme and have patient too warm. Clothing, light but sufficient, through ventilation and a temperature of about 68 degrees should be carefully arranged. Bathing is necessary for cleanliness but as a rule it is not needed as an aid in reducing temperature.
