What should be done about pulmonary infectious lesions?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath. The hospital examination suggested a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. What should I do about pulmonary infectious lesions?

Doctor's answer:

If the hospital carefully examines and diagnoses that the lung shadows are caused by an infectious disease, the patient will need to cooperate with taking some broad-spectrum antibiotics for treatment, which may involve two types of pneumonia. However, the specific medication regimen still needs to be based on the examination results and follow the doctor's instructions. During the treatment, the patient should pay attention to rest, drink more water, eat a light diet, avoid catching a cold, and refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol.
