DEAR DOCTORS: My wife and I both had Covid-19. I recovered, but my wife kept feeling sick. We worried it might be long Covid. But when she saw her doctor, she got diagnosed with walking pneumonia. She took antibiotics and got better. How is walking pneumonia different from regular pneumonia?
DEAR READER: Walking pneumonia is a term that is often used to describe a mild case of pneumonia. The medical term is atypical pneumonia.
