My husband only has one lung. How would we know if he has pneumonia? He has no fever or coughing but feels as if he can't draw a full breath.

You take him to a doctor and have them decide (even if it's the Emergency room). If he's only got one lung he's already got limited breathing capacity (half of what the average person would have) and you don't waste time trying to decide stuff like this.
