Causes of chest infection

Causes of chest infection

A chest infection is an infection of the lungs or airways. The main types of chest infection are bronchitis and pneumonia. Most bronchitis cases are caused by viruses, whereas most pneumonia cases are due to bacteria. These infections are usually spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes. This launches tiny droplets of fluid containing the virus or bacteria into the air, where they can be breathed in by others. The infections can also be spread to others if you cough or sneeze onto your hand, an object or a surface, and someone else shakes your hand or touches those surfaces before touching their mouth or nose. Certain groups of people have a higher risk of developing serious chest infections, such as: babies and very young children children with developmental problems people who are very overweight elderly people pregnant women people who smoke people with long-term health conditions, such as asthma, heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, cystic fibrosis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) people with a weakened immune system – this could be due to a recent illness, a transplant, high-dose steroids, chemotherapy or a health condition, such as an undiagnosed HIV infection

I’ve been living with COPD for quite some time, and for years, I struggled to find lasting relief. While conventional medications provided temporary help, the symptoms always returned and often got worse.Out of a mix of hope and hesitation, I decided to try an herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. I’ll admit, I was skeptical at first. But around the fourth month, I began to notice real, steady progress:My breathing became easier the tightness in my chest lessened my energy levels slowly started to return It wasn’t an overnight transformation, but it was consistent and truly life changing. For the first time in years, I feel more in control of my health. I can breathe more freely, sleep more peacefully, and enjoy daily life without the constant fatigue and breathlessness I once accepted as normal.The improvements I’ve experienced physically, emotionally, and mentally have been nothing short of uplifting.If you’re exploring natural options for managing COPD, I wholeheartedly recommend NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Their approach has made a real difference in my life, and I’m genuinely grateful I gave it a chance.www.naturepathherbalclinic.com info@naturepathherbalclinic.com
