The Hillary Clinton campaign on Wednesday released what it called a “comprehensive update” on the candidate’s medical information, describing the illness that took her off the trail this week as a mild and non-contagious bacterial pneumonia.
“She is recovering well with antibiotics and rest,” Dr. Lisa Bardack said, adding the candidate remains “healthy and fit to serve.”
Describing the pneumonia diagnosis, her doctor said she detected a “small” sign of pneumonia in the right middle-lobe of her lung.
The report follows Clinton in recent weeks having coughing spells in public and stumbling on Sunday during a 9/11 memorial service in New York City.
Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, abruptly left the morning event. The campaign hours later said she had been diagnosed Friday with pneumonia.
The new information also shows Clinton takes the Thyroid medication and the blood-thinner Coumadin, which was previously known. She also was recently prescribed B-12, Clarinex and Levaquin, which treats bacterial infections, which appears related to the pneumonia.
