Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
A fungal infection of the chest can be cured with antibiotics. Worrying would not help. You need to be patient and take the medicines and gradually you would recover. The infection can be dangerous and life threatening only if left untreated.
Discuss with your doctor whether he thinks that oral antifungals would suffice or whether intravenous antifungals are likely to be needed.
Let me know if I could help further.
