Best anti-inflammatory medicine for lung infection

Intrapulmonary infection is an infection of the lungs. This situation should be paid special attention to because it may result in death, and our lungs will slowly fail. When the lungs are infected, we cannot eat. The high risk of aspiration and swallowing exists at the same time. However, we can use anti-inflammatory drugs to treat it. So what is the best anti-inflammatory drug for intrapulmonary infection?

Lung infections have different pathogens, and treatments also need to target the pathogens. For example, viral pneumonia requires treatment against the virus, and fungal pneumonia requires treatment against the fungus. Most pneumonia is caused by bacterial infections, and bacteria are divided into Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, anaerobic bacteria, atypical pathogens, and so on.

The same bacteria can be divided into resistant bacteria and sensitive bacteria. For example, Staphylococcus aureus can be divided into methicillin-sensitive and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. For example, Streptococcus pneumoniae can be divided into penicillin-sensitive and penicillin-intermediate or resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae, and the antibiotics they choose are also different. Therefore, different antibiotics are selected for different pathogens. Only the antibiotics selected according to the pathogens are the best.

There are many considerations when choosing anti-inflammatory drugs after lung infection. For example, for young people or those with out-of-hospital infection, the main target is Gram-negative bacteria. If the patient is an elderly person or has underlying lung disease, the main target is Gram-negative bacteria.

Specifically, the following categories are commonly used in clinical practice: beta-lactams (mainly penicillin and cephalosporins), macrolides (doxorubicin, roxithromycin), quinolones (levofloxacin), and aminosugars (tetracycline). If it is a serious infection, a combination of antibiotics is usually used.

The key is to first determine which microorganism causes the patient's lung infection. It is recommended to first collect sputum for bacterial culture medium sensitivity test and select sensitive antibiotics based on the results. Indiscriminate use of antibiotics without drug sensitivity testing will not only fail to achieve anti-inflammatory effects, but will also easily cause dysbiosis in the patient's body and lead to more serious infections.
