Human lungs are made out of several tiny air sacs that help us breathe. Pneumonia is an infectious disease of the lungs due to a bacterial, viral or fungal infection. The air sacs are filled with liquid or pus due to an infection. Pneumonia often causes fever, shortness of breathe, Chest pain while coughing, Chills and incessant Cough with mucus. When the symptoms are mild, antibiotics in case of bacterial infections, antiviral for viral pneumonia and anti fungal medications are prescribed in combination. Azithromycin is the drug of choice and often the first line of treatment for mild symptoms as advised by a pulmonologist. Adequate rest and fluids are essential to ensure faster recovery. In some cases, mechanical ventilation can also be helpful for oxygen supplementation. In most cases, an early diagnosis to start either oral or intravenous antibiotics is the best possible treatment for Pneumonia. |
