When You Need Respiratory Infection Treatment in Las Vegas
That cough that won’t go away isn’t just annoying. It could mean you have a bad infection that needs treatment. In Las Vegas, we see more lung infections in winter. Signs include fever over 101°F, yellow or green mucus, chest pain, and trouble breathing. Valley fever cases also go up during building season. This is when dust gets stirred up around the city. Don’t wait if symptoms get worse or last more than a week. [1] Early treatment stops problems and helps you feel better faster.

Assessment and Diagnosis
We listen to your lungs and examine your throat. Quick tests help us see if it’s bacterial or viral. This tells us exactly what treatment you need.

Respiratory Infection Treatment Questions
Here’s what our Las Vegas patients ask most about lung infections.
-
How much does respiratory infection treatment cost?
Most visits cost $150 to $400 depending on tests needed. Simple upper lung infections cost less than difficult cases that need X-rays. We talk about all costs before we start treatment. Insurance often covers these visits as needed medical care.
-
How long does treatment take to work?
You’ll start feeling better in 24-48 hours with the right treatment. Antibiotics for bacterial infections help in 2-3 days. Viral infections usually get better in 5-7 days with care. Full recovery usually takes 1-2 weeks depending on the infection type.
-
Can I treat a respiratory infection at home?
Viral infections often get better with rest and fluids at home. But bacterial infections need prescription antibiotics to clear up completely. Don’t guess which type you have. Professional diagnosis stops problems and makes sure you get proper treatment. Home remedies alone won’t cure bacterial pneumonia or strep throat.
-
When should I see a doctor versus waiting it out?
See us if you have fever over 101°F, colored mucus, or chest pain. Trouble breathing or symptoms lasting more than a week need medical attention. In Las Vegas, we also watch for valley fever during dusty building times. Early treatment stops serious problems like pneumonia.
-
Is a respiratory infection contagious?
Most lung infections spread through cough droplets for the first few days. For bacterial infections you’re usually not contagious after 24 hours on antibiotics. Viral infections typically stay contagious for 3-5 days. Stay home until you are fever-free for at least 24 hours to protect others.
-
What are the warning signs of pneumonia?
Watch for high fever, chest pain when breathing, and severe tiredness. Fast breathing or blue lips need medical care right away. Older patients may have confusion instead of fever as their main symptom. Don’t wait if breathing becomes hard or you start feeling worse.
-
Do I need antibiotics for every respiratory infection?
No, viral infections don’t respond to antibiotics at all. About 80% of upper lung infections are viral and heal on their own. We test to see if bacteria is causing your symptoms before giving antibiotics. Using antibiotics when you don’t need them can create resistance and side effects.
