How is pneumonia treated?
Pneumonia is a common disease in clinical practice, with patients often experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, and expectoration. If a lung X-ray is taken, shadows can be seen in the lungs. The treatment of pneumonia primarily involves addressing the cause. For instance, if it is bacterial, appropriate sensitive antibiotics are chosen for treatment. If it is caused by a virus, suitable antiviral drugs are selected, and for fungal pneumonia, antifungal drugs should be chosen. If it is related to allergies, anti-allergy medications should be used. Additionally, symptomatic treatment is applied, such as antipyretics for fever. Depending on the situation, medications for cough suppression, phlegm reduction, and asthma relief may also be used. (The use of medications should be under the guidance of a doctor.)
