Lung Infection Treatment by Dr. Priyanka Aggarwal
Lung infections are common problems that can affect anyone, from children to elderly people. These infections happen when viruses, bacteria, or sometimes fungi attack the lungs or airways. Common types include pneumonia, bronchitis, and other respiratory tract infections. Symptoms often include cough with mucus or phlegm, fever, chest pain, shortness of breath, tiredness, and wheezing. Some people may also have chills, body aches, or difficulty breathing deeply. If not treated properly, lung infections can become serious, especially in people with weak immunity, asthma, COPD, diabetes, or smoking habits. Early diagnosis and correct treatment help patients recover faster and prevent complications.
