Hello
Thank you for asking in HCM
The diagnosis of pus in lungs is different called Lung abces,or empiema.
Usually it is a complication after a pneumonia,infection of the lungs.
The treatment is relatively long 4-6 weeks depending of the cause microbial agent.Two or three antibiotics are used mostly.
The better and the safe place to do this is in the hospital because the pulmonologist and sometimes the thoracic surgeon will treat you.
Thank you
