Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination indicated a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. I would like to ask, what medication should be taken for severe cough in lobar pneumonia?Doctor's answer:
Recurrent pneumonia will again present with clinical symptoms such as cough and sputum production, as these symptoms are caused by inflammation. Once the inflammation subsides, the symptoms will gradually improve. It is recommended to have blood tests and chest X-rays examined at the hospital. For severe symptoms, hospitalization and treatment are advised, while for mild symptoms, oral medication is generally sufficient. It is recommended to use medication under the guidance of a local doctor.
