Occasional symptoms of dyspnea after discharge from the hospital with lung infection may be re-exacerbated after the infection improves, or conditions such as pleurisy, asthma attack or cardiac insufficiency attack, or mechanized pneumonitis may occur.
1. Re-exacerbation of infection after improvement: Chest CT can be repeated to assess the lung infection, and if necessary, continue to use antibiotics such as cefoxitin and cefoperazone for anti-infective treatment, which can be supplemented with oxygen therapy to alleviate the condition.
2. Pleurisy: when lung infection causes pleurisy, continue to use cefoxitin and other antibiotics for anti-infective treatment, and generally can gradually relieve the symptoms.
3. Asthma attack: bronchodilators such as salbutamol and formoterol can be given to dilate the bronchial tubes, and inhaled glucocorticosteroids such as budesonide can be given for anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic treatments, which can gradually relieve the symptoms of tightness in the chest and shortness of breath.
4. Episodes of cardiac insufficiency: furosemide, spironolactone diuretic treatment can be given to reduce the cardiac load, if necessary, give milrinone and other drugs to improve cardiac function treatment.
5. Organic pneumonia: when organic pneumonia occurs, a small amount of glucocorticoids such as prednisone can be given to anti-inflammatory treatment, while oxygen inhalation can relieve chest tightness and shortness of breath symptoms if necessary.
Therefore, if you are discharged from the hospital and have obvious symptoms of dyspnea at home, you need to go to the hospital in time for further examination and treatment, so as not to delay your condition.
