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 a mixed infection of fungi and bacteria caused by viral pneumonia?Doctor's answer:
You have developed pneumonia and subsequently contracted a mixed infection of fungi and bacteria. In this situation, you are unaware of which type of pneumonia you have—whether it is viral or mycoplasma pneumonia. Currently, since the fungal and bacterial infections have been separated, you must be hospitalized for treatment. Targeted antibiotics should be administered according to the condition in a prescribed course of treatment. If the treatment is not standardized, it can easily lead to fungal infection-induced pneumonia that does not heal, which would significantly impact your health.
