Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Could you please tell me what are the ways to alleviate fungal pericarditis?Doctor's answer:
Fungal pericarditis is a relatively serious illness. If not treated promptly, it may lead to complications such as pneumonia-pulmonary syndrome, hepatomegaly, meningitis, and in severe cases, it may even pose a life-threatening risk. Generally, patients require the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment. If the patient has severe infection, amphotericin B can be administered intravenously.
