What should be done about pulmonary infection after a cerebral infarction?

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. What should I do about the possibility of a stroke and lung infection?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, recurrent cerebral infarction with pulmonary infection can generally be treated with antibiotics for anti-inflammatory purposes. Additionally, oral blood-activating and blood-stasis-resolving drugs should be taken. It is also important to maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, personal immunity should be strengthened, with frequent exercise and close monitoring. There may be a possibility of a drop in body temperature, so it is advisable to consume more high-protein foods.
