Lung abscess has no effect on life expectancy after treatment, but a small number of patients may have life-threatening serious complications due to poor treatment.
There are many causes of lung abscess, and according to the pathway of pathogen infection, it can be divided into primary lung abscess, secondary lung abscess and hematogenous lung abscess.
The treatment of lung abscess does not affect life expectancy, and active treatment of lung abscess is sufficient. Therefore, once the diagnosis of lung abscess is confirmed, it should be treated promptly and actively under the supervision of a doctor, including effective anti-infection treatment, sputum drainage and symptomatic treatment.
After determining that the lung abscess is cured by treatment, there is no need to worry too much about its impact on life expectancy, and the exact life expectancy of the patient still needs to be determined according to his or her own physical condition.
