The best antibiotics to treat lung infections

There is no best antibiotic for treating lung infections, only the most appropriate and targeted antibiotics or other drugs. Lung infections can be caused by a variety of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, chlamydia, fungi, etc., and different drugs are used for different pathogens.

1. Bacterial pneumonia: Generally, it is treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics such as penicillin antibiotics (such as amoxicillin, etc.), cephalosporins (such as cefuroxime, etc.), and after the results of the drug susceptibility test are available, the sensitive antibiotics suggested by the test are selected, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus can be treated with vancomycin.

In addition to relying on etiological examination, anti-infective treatment also needs to be combined with comprehensive analysis of clinical symptoms and signs, severity of systemic inflammatory reaction, and previous drug history to determine the pathogen and colonizing bacteria.

2. Viral pneumonia: mostly self-limited, generally symptomatic treatment, and oxygen therapy is given in time when blood oxygen saturation is low.

3. Mycoplasma pneumoniae and chlamydial pneumonia: macrolide antibiotics are generally used, such as moxifloxacin, azithromycin, etc.

4. Pulmonary mycosis: antifungal drugs such as fluconazole and itraconazole are generally used, and glucocorticoids can also be used for treatment.

Please use the above drugs under the guidance of a doctor, and seek medical attention in time if you feel unwell.
