Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been coughing for over a month. At first, I thought it was just a common cold, but recently, my cough has become so severe. I'm extremely upset. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they found that I have viral pneumonia. Have I lost the chance to be cured from now on?Doctor's answer:
If it is a simple viral pneumonia, some antiviral drugs can be used, which can help stabilize symptoms. This disease can be cured, but the course of treatment must be sufficient. It is not possible to interrupt the treatment or abandon it midway. Any illness has a process and does not necessarily require immediate severe fluctuations or even immediate relief. After a period of treatment, it is essential to undergo a follow-up examination at the hospital.
