Obstructive pneumonia and lung cancer

Pneumonia refers to terminal airway, alveolar and interstitial lung inflammation caused by factors such as terminal airway, alveolarization, immune damage, allergy and drugs. The incidence of obstructive pneumonia is gradually increasing, as well as air pollution, chronic lung infection caused by smoking, inducing chronic bronchitis, etc., and further lesions. For patients with combined obstructive pneumonia, fever will occur, especially non-infectious fever, also known as tumor fever, which is more common.

Is pneumonia serious in adults?

Pneumonia is more serious in adults. Relatively speaking, adults may have stronger physical recovery ability due to better resistance, but if not treated promptly, correctly and effectively, they may also have serious complications such as respiratory failure, which may also lead to death. However, the prognosis is poor for elderly patients and some chronic diseases such as chronic bronchitis, pre-existing lung infections and serious complications such as liver failure, respiratory failure, hemolytic anemia, myocarditis and meningoencephalitis. Different pathogens can cause different clinical symptoms and prognosis of pneumonia, and the severity is also different.

Early symptoms of pneumonia

Common bacterial pneumonia, common early symptoms are coughing and expectoration, common yellow or rusty sputum, often with body cold, chills, and then fever, high body temperature, accompanied by chest pain, fast breathing, and purple lips. Early pneumonia may have the following symptoms: fever, which is generally low, and some may have respiratory symptoms, such as nasal congestion, nasal itching, runny nose, headache, dizziness, mental decline, and inability to eat. The lungs have typical physical signs in real time, such as dullness of percussion, increased vocal fremitus, bronchial breathing sounds, etc., and moist rales can also be heard.
