What to do if lung cancer causes pneumonia

What should I do if lung cancer causes pneumonia?

1. Lung cancer patients have decreased resistance, especially during radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which makes them prone to secondary lung infection and pneumonia. Patients should strengthen their anti-infection, enhance their resistance, and receive immunotherapy. Therefore, patients with advanced lung cancer must actively prevent and treat pneumonia. Some patients may suffer from worsening of their condition or even clinical death due to repeated pneumonia.

2. In view of this situation, clinically, we should first actively fight against inflammation, and at the same time try to relax the bronchi to eliminate phlegm. If possible, we should consider cooperating with some anti-tumor drugs to relieve the compression of the tumor on the bronchi. Obstructive pneumonia of lung cancer can lead to the following adverse consequences: respiratory failure, which is the most common complication of obstructive pneumonia of lung cancer.

What Chinese medicine should I take for early lung cancer?

Lung cancer can be treated with Chinese medicine in the early stage, but it can only play an auxiliary role and cannot completely cure it. Patients should undergo surgery immediately so that they can be cured to a certain extent. They should maintain a reasonable diet structure, not eat spicy food, and not smoke or drink. There are many Chinese medicines that can be taken for early lung cancer.

Specific drugs should be selected according to one's own physical condition, but taking Chinese medicine can only play an auxiliary therapeutic role. The therapeutic effect of Chinese medicine is relatively slow and it is easy to delay the disease. The preferred treatment for early lung cancer is surgery.

At this time, surgery can also effectively control the development of the disease. Once lung cancer develops to the middle and late stages, the best time for surgery has been missed. Lung cancer is a malignant tumor of the lungs.
