What medicine can I take for lung infections to get better quickly?

Lung infection can be caused by a variety of reasons, such as bacterial infection, pneumonia caused by atypical pathogens, viral infection, etc., and penicillin, ribavirin, erythromycin and other drugs should be selected according to the different pathogens of infection to achieve better results.

1. Bacterial infection: Streptococcus pneumoniae infection, penicillin is often the first choice for treatment, such as infection with penicillin-resistant strains, levofloxacin, cefotaxime and other antibiotics can be used. If it is a staphylococcal infection, semi-synthetic penicillin or cephalosporin, such as oxacillin sodium, cefuroxime sodium, etc., can be combined with amikacin and other aminoglycosides, the effect is better.

2. Atypical pathogens: such as pneumonia caused by mycoplasma, which is self-limiting, most patients can recover spontaneously, and macrolide antibiotics can be used in the early stage, such as erythromycin, roxithromycin, etc.

3. Viral infection: pneumonia caused by viral infection, commonly used antiviral drugs, such as ribavirin, acyclovir, etc.

For lung infection, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination to determine the pathogen of infection, and choose the corresponding sensitive drugs under the guidance of the doctor, and avoid unauthorized medication.
