How serious is Bacterial lung infection

2018-07-20 03:20:34
I was exposed to a fierce rainstorm a couple of days back. Since that day I have been experiencing an acute pain in my chest, headaches, wheezing and have developed a serious cough. After visiting the doctor, I was diagnosed with a bacterial infection in my lungs. I can’t afford to miss work so can anyone tell me how serious is a bacterial lung infection?
