The importance of lungs is self-evident, and any issues with this part can significantly affect the body. Once abnormalities appear, symptoms such as cough, chest tightness, and even hemoptysis in severe cases may occur. When some individuals undergo physical examinations at the hospital, they may find white spots on their lungs, which undoubtedly causes great concern, fearing that they may have developed serious illnesses. So, what illnesses can be associated with white spots on the lungs? Let's take a detailed look below.
1. In addition to bed rest, drinking plenty of water, oxygen therapy, and active expectoration, the most crucial aspect of pneumonia treatment is anti-infection. The treatment of bacterial pneumonia includes pathogen-targeted therapy and empirical therapy. The former involves selecting antibiotics sensitive in vitro based on sputum culture and drug sensitivity test results; the latter primarily selects antibiotics that may cover the pathogen based on epidemiological data of pneumonia pathogens in the local area. Antibiotic selection and routes of administration are also determined based on factors such as the patient's age, underlying diseases, severity of illness, and presence of aspiration.

2. Penicillins, first-generation cephalosporins, and other antibiotics are selected. Due to the high resistance rate of Streptococcus pneumoniae in China to macrolide antibiotics, macrolides are not used alone for pneumonia caused by this bacterium. For drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae, fluoroquinolones (moxifloxacin, gemifloxacin, and levofloxacin) with specific efficacy for respiratory tract infections can be used.
