What Are the Symptoms of a Lung Infection, and How Is It Treated? - #15249
I’ve been having a persistent cough, shortness of breath, and occasional chest pain, and I’m starting to worry that it might be a lung infection. How do you know if it’s just a cold or bronchitis, or if it’s something more serious like pneumonia or tuberculosis? I read that lung infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. How do doctors tell the difference, and what are the best ways to treat them? I also want to know if there are natural ways to support lung health. Does Ayurveda recommend any herbs, teas, or breathing exercises to help with lung infections? I’ve heard that Vasaka, Tulsi, and Mulethi are used for respiratory health—do they actually help? If anyone has had a lung infection, what symptoms did you experience, and how long did it take to recover?
