Pneumonia usually starts with a cough, accompanied by phlegm, which may be rusty in colour if a small amount of blood is being coughed up. There may also be fever and pain in the chest, which may develop into fast, shallow breathing. If it is not treated, the oxygen levels in the blood may drop, causing confusion and unconsciousness.
