It is better to have surgery on the lesions left over from pneumonia, or to reduce inflammation first

Pneumonia is usually a scar tissue that forms after inflammation of the lungs. If the lesion is small and does not affect respiratory function, surgical treatment is not required, and anti-infective therapy can be given first; However, if the lesion is large or affects respiratory function, surgical removal is required.

No need for surgery: If it is a lesion such as pulmonary fibrosis or calcified plaque caused by pneumonia, in the absence of obvious symptoms, no special treatment is generally required.Because these lesions usually do not have much effect on the body and do not cause significant discomfort. At this point, patients only need regular repeat chest CT scans.

2. Need for surgery: If the patient's lesion is relatively large, and there are symptoms such as chest tightness and shortness of breath, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time, and it can be treated by surgery. Commonly used surgical methods include segmentectomy, lobectomy, etc.

Second, the lesion is large

For patients with large lesions, it is recommended to take antibiotic drugs such as amoxicillin capsules and cefixime granules for anti-infection treatment under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to rest and avoid overexertion, so as not to aggravate the condition.
