Bronchopneumonia

Bronchopneumonia is a type of lung infection characterized by inflammation and localized infection of the bronchial tubes and surrounding lung tissue. It often involves small areas of the lungs, causing symptoms like cough, chest pain, fever, and difficulty breathing. The infection is usually caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi and spreads through respiratory droplets. It commonly affects vulnerable groups such as the elderly, young children, or those with weakened immune systems. Treatment typically includes antibiotics or antiviral medications, rest, and fluids. Proper management helps resolve the infection and prevents complications.
