To treat pneumonia and pleural lung infection our highly skilled pulmonologist Dr Sumalatha provides advanced treatment options for these two serious respiratory conditions. Pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs in the lungs, while pleural effusion occurs when excess fluid builds up between the layers of tissue surrounding the lungs.
For pneumonia, Dr. Sumalatha offers a range of treatments depending on the severity of the infection. These include antibiotic therapy for bacterial pneumonia, and in some cases, antiviral or antifungal medications. Supportive care such as oxygen therapy and hydration may also be provided to help improve breathing and lung function.
In cases of pleural effusion, treatment may involve thoracentesis, a procedure where excess fluid is drained from the pleural space to relieve symptoms and improve lung capacity. For recurrent cases, pleurodesis may be recommended to prevent fluid buildup.
With a focus on accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment, Dr. V. Sumalatha helps patients recover from these conditions, ensuring optimal respiratory health at Suma Hospital.
