Coughs and chest infections range from minor viral colds to serious pneumonia and tuberculosis. Knowing which is which — and treating accordingly — requires careful clinical evaluation.
We take a detailed history, examine the chest, and use targeted investigations including chest X-ray and sputum tests when needed. Antibiotics are prescribed only when there is genuine bacterial infection.
Common conditions treated
- Common cold and viral upper respiratory infections
- Acute bronchitis — productive cough and airway inflammation
- Pneumonia — lung infection needing prompt treatment
- Tuberculosis screening — persistent cough, weight loss, night sweats
- Sinusitis and pharyngitis
Treatment approach
- Clinical evaluation with chest examination
- Chest X-ray and sputum studies when indicated
- Appropriate antibiotics for bacterial infections
- Cough, mucus and fever management
- Tuberculosis evaluation and treatment coordination
- Follow-up X-ray to confirm resolution
