Chest Infections

Chest infections are lung infections that cause inflammation and fluid buildup in the airways, making breathing difficult. These infections can range from mild cases, like bronchitis, to more severe conditions, such as pneumonia. Common causes include bacteria, viruses, or fungi, and symptoms often include coughing, chest pain, shortness of breath, and fever.

Types of Chest Infections
Bronchitis: Inflammation of the airways, often causing a persistent cough and mucus production.
Pneumonia: A more serious infection that leads to fluid or pus in the lungs, causing chest pain, fever, and difficulty breathing.
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the type and severity of the infection and may include antibiotics, antiviral medications, or supportive therapies like inhalers or breathing exercises.
