What is a Lung Infection?
A lung infection is a condition in which the air sacs in one or both lungs become inflamed and may fill with fluid or pus. Bacteria, viruses, or fungi can cause lung infections. When severe, they can interfere with oxygen exchange in the lungs and become life-threatening if not treated promptly, particularly in adults with demanding physical professions or existing health stressors.
Common symptoms of a severe lung infection include:
- Persistent cough producing yellow, green, or blood-tinged mucus
- High fever with chills and excessive sweating
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Chest pain that worsens during coughing or deep breathing
- Extreme fatigue andweakness
Treatment depends on the underlying cause of the infection and its severity. Management often includes medications such as antibiotics or antivirals, oxygen therapy, intravenous fluids, and close monitoring in a hospital setting to prevent respiratory failure or other complications.
