• Persistent cough with or without mucus.
• Fever, chills, and excessive sweating.
• Chest pain that worsens while breathing or coughing.
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.
• Fatigue, weakness, and reduced appetite.

Diagnosis & Treatment

Accurate diagnosis helps identify the underlying cause of infection and ensures appropriate treatment. Our evaluation includes clinical assessment, imaging, and laboratory investigations whenever required.

• Detailed medical history and physical examination.
• Chest X-ray or CT scan for accurate diagnosis.
• Sputum and blood investigations when indicated.
• Bronchoscopy for selected complex cases.
• Personalized treatment with antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, or supportive care based on the diagnosis.

Following the prescribed treatment completely, staying hydrated, avoiding smoking, and receiving recommended vaccinations can support faster recovery and help prevent future infections.
