What is empyema

First: empyema mostly occurs in the early stage of pneumonia, and its initial symptom is the symptom of pneumonia. Although some patients with pneumonia after treatment, but not enough, the symptoms of pneumonia improved for a time, later appeared empyema symptoms. Most children have high fever.

Second: when the baby has empyema, it only shows moderate dyspnea aggravation. Severe poisoning symptoms, severe dyspnea, cough and chest pain were found in the older children. When tension pneumothorax occurs, there are sudden shortness of breath, flapping nasal wings, cyanosis, irritability, persistent cough, and even apnea.

Third: bacteria invade the pleural cavity and produce purulent exudate. The purulent infection accumulated in the pleural cavity is called empyema. Empyema can be divided into acute and chronic according to the course of disease. According to the pathogenic bacteria can be divided into purulent, tuberculous and special pathogenic empyema. According to the scope of infection, it can be divided into total empyema and localized empyema.

Most of the drugs for the treatment of empyema are metabolized by the liver, which will cause certain degree of damage to the body. When dispensing, we should consult the doctor in advance to confirm that there is no damage to the patients with empyema. We must use the drugs reasonably under the guidance of the doctor.
