Can lung abscess be cured without operation
summary
Lung abscess, as the name suggests, is the abscess of our lung, accompanied by sputum, lung pain and other diseases. Some people think that surgery is needed to cure it. Is this really the case? Let's popularize the science to see if lung abscess can be cured without surgery.
Can lung abscess be cured without operation
First, antibiotics are most commonly used in the treatment of acute lung abscess because they are sensitive to penicillin. Dose according to the condition, general acute lung abscess by penicillin treatment can be cured. Bacteroides fragilis is not sensitive to penicillin and can be injected intramuscularly with lincomycin; in severe cases, it can be injected intravenously. Or oral administration of clindamycin.
Second: sputum drainage, oral expectorant, can make sputum easy to cough up. If the sputum is thick, airway humidification can be used, such as steam inhalation and ultrasonic atomization inhalation, to facilitate the drainage of sputum. The patient's general condition is good, fever is not high, position drainage can help the discharge of pus. If the abscess is located in a high position and patted lightly at the affected part, obvious signs of sputum obstruction can be seen, which can be flushed and attracted by fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
Third: surgical treatment of bronchial obstruction suspected of bronchial cancer; chronic lung abscess after medical treatment for 3 months, the pus cavity still does not shrink, infection can not be controlled; or complicated with bronchiectasis, empyema, bronchopleural fistula; massive hemoptysis is life-threatening, need surgical treatment.
matters needing attention
In fact, lung abscess is caused by a lot of pathological changes, such as tracheal infection, which will cause lung abscess. The main treatment is to prevent infection. When the situation is not very serious, lung cysts can be treated without surgery, so it's good to popularize science for everyone. I hope it can attract attention.
