Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath. The hospital examination said it's a respiratory disease, but the medication isn't very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. What should I do about a lung infection after cranial surgery?Doctor's answer:
The incidence of pulmonary infection after this craniotomy is very high, and there are no particularly effective methods. The only option is active and regular anti-inflammatory treatment, while also enhancing nursing care to prevent aspiration as much as possible. This can help stabilize symptoms. For patients with post-stroke complications, nursing care directly benefits the recovery of their condition. It is essential to persist in rehabilitation exercises, which can improve the prognosis.
