What Is a Chest Infection?
A chest infection is an infection of the lungs or large airways. It can range from a mild condition like acute bronchitis to more serious infections such as pneumonia.
There are two main types:
Viral chest infections – Often caused by cold or flu viruses; usually clear up on their own
Bacterial chest infections – May require antibiotics for treatment
Common Symptoms of a Chest Infection
You may be experiencing a chest infection if you have:
A persistent cough (with or without mucus/phlegm)
Chest pain or tightness
Shortness of breath
Fever or chills
Fatigue or general weakness
Wheezing
If left untreated, chest infections can worsen, especially in older adults, young children, or those with underlying health conditions.
