Most chronic inflammatory diseases of the lungs usually do not heal on their own, but are usually treated according to the cause of the disease and can be controlled in most patients and cured in some cases.
Chronic pneumonia is defined as having an onset greater than 3 months. Severe pneumonia that is not completely controlled can recur and evolve into chronic pneumonia.
Factors that contribute to chronic inflammation of the lungs are.
1. Recurrent upper respiratory tract infections or bronchitis as well as chronic sinusitis are all triggers for chronic pneumonia.
2. Malnutrition, rickets, congenital heart disease or tuberculosis are prone to delay when pneumonia occurs.
3. Foreign bodies in the bronchial tubes are easily neglected and remain in the lungs for a long time, forming chronic pneumonia.
4. Viral infections can lead to interstitial pneumonia, which can easily evolve into chronic pneumonia.
5. Primary or secondary abnormalities in the morphology and function of respiratory cilia can lead to chronic inflammation of the lungs.
6. Pediatric immunodeficiencies can all cause pneumonia to recur and become chronic.
Chronic inflammation of the lungs is recommended to go to the hospital in time, clear diagnosis and treatment. To avoid delays.
