What does sputum increase when pneumonia is treated

Pneumonia is treated with sputum, which is an important part of the recovery process.

When the inflammation in the lungs is controlled, sputum will gradually increase, which is the body's discharge of sputum and harmful substances. At this time, the doctor may adjust the treatment plan according to the situation to ensure the patient's recovery. If the sputum volume suddenly increases, or accompanied by other symptoms, such as dyspnea, fever, etc., the doctor should be informed in time for further diagnosis and treatment.
