Lung Infections

Lung infections, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and bronchiolitis, are caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi entering the lungs and causing inflammation. Symptoms can include coughing, shortness of breath, fever, and chest pain. These infections can range from mild to severe and may require medical treatment, especially for infants, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems or chronic lung conditions. It's important to seek medical attention if you suspect a lung infection to receive the appropriate care.
