Question
My baby is 6 months old and has a cold, with coughing and some fever in the morning and evening. The coughing is more severe at night when sleeping, and it’s been over two weeks now. We’ve given her cold medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs, and cough syrup, but the effects are not significant. How can we prevent the occurrence of pediatric pneumonia?
Answer
Pneumonia is often caused by an upper respiratory infection, such as a cold that has not been controlled. The main symptoms include recurrent fever, coughing, and rapid breathing. During the acute phase, treatment should be accompanied by a doctor, and during the recovery period, immunity should be enhanced by increasing outdoor activities and maintaining a balanced diet. Medications can also be taken to boost immunity.
