Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination suggested a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. What should I do if I have lupus with lung infection?Doctor's answer:
The main treatment measures for systemic lupus erythematosus are the use of immunosuppressants and glucocorticoids. However, excessive use of immunosuppressants and glucocorticoids can lead to an increase in the body's immunity, making it more susceptible to infectious diseases. When dealing with a lung infection, it is necessary to increase the use of hormones and immunosuppressants while enhancing the use of anti-infective medications. If there is a clock situation, there is no need to worry too much, as under the doctor's instructions can control the disease. During the remission period of the disease, it is essential to maintain medication adherence and take precautions to prevent infection.
