Dr. V. Sumalatha, an expert pulmonologist, provides comprehensive care for lung infections and lung abscesses. Lung infections, including pneumonia, bronchitis, and tuberculosis, can lead to complications like lung abscesses, where pus accumulates in the lung tissue. Dr. Sumalatha specializes in diagnosing and treating these conditions with advanced medical interventions.
The treatment approach for lung infections begins with accurate diagnosis, often using chest X-rays, CT scans, and sputum tests. Antibiotic therapy is commonly prescribed to treat bacterial infections, while antiviral or antifungal medications are used when appropriate. In cases of lung abscesses, antibiotics are the first line of treatment, sometimes combined with procedures like drainage for more severe abscesses.
For patients with underlying conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma, Dr. Sumalatha ensures comprehensive management to prevent recurrent infections. She emphasizes early intervention, lifestyle modifications, and pulmonary rehabilitation to promote recovery and lung health, helping patients breathe easier and live healthier lives at Suma Hospital.
