Is the lung inflammation serious?

The severity of lung inflammation depends on the type of disease and the patient's own condition. Most lung inflammation is caused by bacterial infection, relatively not very serious, can be treated with antibiotics such as penicillin or cephalosporins, generally in a week or so can be recovered. If it was caused by fungal infection, the condition would be more serious and the treatment time would be longer. If the treatment was not standardized, it might cause lung abscess and bronchopleural fistula. Patients with pulmonary inflammation needed to go to the hospital for a CT scan of the lungs and a blood routine examination to determine the specific cause. Then, they would choose suitable drugs for treatment. During treatment, they should follow the doctor's advice.
