King Salman of Saudi Arabia to undergo treatment for lung inflammation

Saudi Arabia’s King Salman will undergo treatment for lung inflammation, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Sunday.

The 88-year-old king experienced a high temperature and joint pain, prompting a medical evaluation at the Royal Clinic in the al-Salam Palace, Jeddah.

Following the diagnosis, his medical team recommended a treatment plan including antibiotics.

King Salman, who ascended to the throne in 2015 and is the custodian of Islam’s holiest sites, was last hospitalized in April.
