The treatment of lung inflammation is often complex, involving a combination of several symptom-reducing strategies and disease-modifying approaches. Treatment of lung inflammation can include urgent respiratory support, anti-inflammatory medications, such as inhaled corticosteroids, and/or surgical intervention as needed.
Lung Inflammation
Lung inflammation can be acute or chronic, and there are many possible causes, including exposures, infections, and diseases like asthma or bronchitis. Because inflammation of the lungs can affect their functioning, it can cause wheezing, difficulty breathing, or chest pain and tightness.
The diagnosis of lung inflammation involves a multifaceted approach, incorporating a physical examination, imaging tests, pulmonary function tests, and more. Depending on the cause, lung inflammation can be treated with medications or procedures to alleviate the symptoms and control the underlying disease. Prevention strategies like avoiding triggers are also important.
The diagnosis of lung inflammation involves a physical examination and a careful evaluation of your symptoms. Because there are so many causes of lung inflammation, the selection of diagnostic tests is based on which are most likely to be helpful in your case.
Associated symptoms such as a fever, chest pain, or aching joints will help direct your medical team to the next steps in your diagnostic evaluation, as they may help narrow down the possible diagnoses worth exploring first.
Symptoms of Lung Inflammation
The noticeable effects of lung inflammation can develop rapidly or slowly, depending on the extent of inflammation, the cause, and your overall health. If you have chronic inflammation, you might end up getting used to the situation and ignoring your symptoms, especially if they are mild and steady.
With acute and rapidly worsening inflammation of the lungs, it’s hard to ignore the effects, and you will probably be unable to overlook that something is wrong.
Symptoms of lung inflammation can include:
- Feeling tired after physical activity
- A general sense of fatigue
- Wheezing
- Dry or productive cough
- Trouble breathing
- Chest discomfort, tightness, or pain
- A sense of lung pain
- Gasping for air
Issues like fevers, weight loss, or hypertension can also occur. But these effects are related to the underlying medical conditions that give way to lung inflammation, not the inflammation itself.
