Features of streptococcal pneumonia

In patients with pneumonia caused by streptococcal infection, the typical clinical symptoms usually include fever, cough, sputum production, chest pain, and may also have symptoms such as dyspnea. Streptococcus bacteria are widely found in humans, animals, homes, hospitals and other environments, and normal people may be infected through the respiratory tract and other ways when their resistance is reduced, which can lead to pneumonia.

1. Fever: After streptococcal infection pneumonia, it may cause the patient to have fever or even high fever;

2. Cough and sputum: After Streptococcus pneumoniae infection, it may stimulate the airways to secrete mucus, which in turn leads to cough, sputum and other symptoms;

3. Chest pain: After streptococcal infection pneumonia, it may damage lung tissues and even cause lobar necrosis of the lungs, which in turn leads to chest pain and other symptoms of chest pain;

4. Dyspnea: If the lung damage of a patient with streptococcal pneumonia is severe, it may lead to pulmonary ventilation dysfunction and even cause dyspnea;

5. Others: Patients with streptococcal pneumonia may have a small amount of hemoptysis due to inflammation and stimulation. If a person with streptococcal pneumonia causes lobar pneumonia, it may damage the blood vessels in the lungs, causing hemoptysis.

If streptococcal infection with pneumonia, patients should take rest and avoid going to crowded places to avoid cross-infection.In addition, patients should consume easily digestible foods, such as noodles, porridge, etc., and avoid spicy foods, so as not to cause irritation to the respiratory tract and affect the recovery of the disease. Patients should also strengthen personal protection and pay attention to keeping warm to prevent reinfection. If the patient has uncomfortable symptoms, he should see a doctor in time and carry out targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor, such as anti-infective treatment with amoxicillin, cefixime and other drugs.
