Patient's question:
A friend always complains of chest pain, but when asked to go to the hospital, he refuses. What are the treatment methods for empyema?Doctor's answer:
Pleurisy, generally caused by bacterial or other infectious agents, can lead to symptoms such as fever, chest tightness, chest pain, and shortness of breath. This condition is divided into two types: acute and chronic. Acute pleurisy can be treated with closed thoracic drainage and anti-inflammatory measures. Chronic pleurisy often requires surgical treatment. It is recommended that patients avoid catching colds, enhance their nutrition, refrain from smoking, avoid staying up late, and actively cooperate with medical treatment.
