Can pneumonia come back?

There are many causes of pneumonia. Some patients with pneumonia will relapse due to low resistance, and some patients with pneumonia may have recurrence due to incomplete treatment.

Pneumonia often refers to the inflammation of the lungs caused by infection by bacterial, viral, fungal, mycoplasma, chlamydia and other pathogenic bacteria, of which bacterial infection is the most common. Pneumonia can generally be cured after active anti-infective treatment, but when the patient's immunity is weakened, if it encounters predisposing factors such as cold and fatigue, it can be re-infected with pathogenic bacteria to cause pneumonia. or incomplete treatment, such as premature discontinuation of the drug, can also lead to recurrence of inflammation.

The treatment of pneumonia must be early, accurate, and active, and appropriate antimicrobial treatment should be selected.However, if the course of treatment is not reached, once it is found that the patient's clinical symptoms are reduced, the antimicrobial drugs will not be stopped, which will lead to pneumonia not being actively and effectively treated, and it is very easy to recur if it is tired again or after cold.

Therefore, for the treatment of pneumonia, it is necessary to select appropriate drugs according to the results of drug susceptibility testing, and the full course of treatment. After treatment, follow-up imaging and microbiological examinations are required to ensure that the pneumonia is cured. After pneumonia is cured, it is necessary to pay attention to exercising, enhance the body's resistance to diseases, avoid predisposing factors such as rain and cold, overwork, and excessive drinking, and prevent colds.

Specific diagnosis and treatment should be based on the doctor's instructions. If there is any abnormality, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time, and take medication and other treatments under the guidance of a doctor.
