Question
A 3-year-old girl, the baby has been running a fever for the past two days and frequently coughs, her face is flushed red, and she has trouble sleeping at night. After going to the hospital, it was diagnosed as pneumonia. What should be noted during the treatment of pediatric pneumonia?
Answer
Pneumonia is usually caused by viral or bacterial infections, requiring the use of antibiotics to control the infection, expectorants to relieve coughing, and symptomatic medication. During the treatment of pneumonia, it is important to prevent colds and further respiratory infections. Feed the child easily digestible foods and adopt a feeding method of small amounts several times a day to prevent eating overly sweet or salty foods. Symptoms may vary depending on the cause, so patients should seek immediate and systematic examinations at a regular three-level A hospital based on their own condition to ensure effective treatment and a quick recovery.
