Treatment for Lung Infection | Yashoda Hospitals Hyderabad

A lung infection occurs when bacteria, viruses, or fungi infect the lungs, causing inflammation and respiratory issues. Common causes include bacteria like Streptococcus pneumoniae, viruses such as influenza, and fungi in certain cases. Lung infections can range from mild conditions like bronchitis to severe illnesses like pneumonia. Symptoms typically include coughing (with or without mucus), fever, shortness of breath, chest pain, and fatigue. Diagnosis involves a physical exam, listening to lung sounds, and tests like chest X-rays, blood tests, and sputum cultures.

The treatment for a lung infection varies depending on the infection's severity and underlying cause. For bacterial infections, antibiotics are typically prescribed, which help eliminate the bacteria. Viral infections, like the flu or COVID-19, often require antiviral medications and supportive care, such as rest, hydration, and fever-reducing medications. Fungal infections are treated with antifungal drugs. In more severe cases, hospitalization may be needed, especially if breathing assistance or intravenous medications are required. Recovery times can vary, with most patients improving within a few days to weeks, depending on the treatment plan and the patient's overall health.
