The right doctor to treat chest infections is a lung infection doctor or otherwise known as a pulmonologist. These specialists are trained to identify and treat chest infections and prevent complications.
Best lung infection treatment doctors in Hyderabad claim that most lung infections are caused by bacteria, and therefore, antibiotics are the best line of treatment against lung infections.
There are many types of lung diseases that are seen and include infections with bacteria, viruses, and fungi that can progress to pneumonia, emphysema, and bronchitis that constitute COPD, lung tumors and cancers, pleural effusion, etc.
