What is pneumonia?
Pneumonia refers to a swelling of the tissue in one or both of your lungs.
When you have pneumonia, the alveoli - tiny air sacs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged - fill with fluid.
It affects around 8 in 1,000 adults a year, and it's more common in autumn and winter.
While it can severely affect people of any age, it's more common and can be more serious among the young or elderly.
Bacteria and viruses are behind most cases of pneumonia - but it can also be caused by physical injury, chemicals such as chlorine fumes, or infectious agents such as parasites and fungi.
The famous couple, who are expecting their third child via surrogate this year, still managed to celebrate New Year’s Eve together as Saint recovered at home.
And Kim, 37, shared footage as the clock struck midnight and she locked lips with her rapper husband.
Kanye couldn’t have looked happier as they rang in the New Year together, no doubt looking forward to what 2018 will bring for them.
Kim also revealed that having their third child was a real highlight for the couple.
