Question
My baby is just a few months old, and recently, they have been showing a decrease in appetite and constant crying without any apparent reason. Upon checking, they were diagnosed with pediatric pneumonia. How can pediatric pneumonia be treated to improve?
Answer
After a baby is diagnosed with pneumonia, they must rest in bed and always maintain a quiet indoor environment with adequate air supply. During winter, when the air is drier and indoor heating may exacerbate the baby’s condition, it is best to have a humidifier in the room to significantly increase the indoor humidity, which is beneficial for expectoration. Thirdly, enhance nutrition. The baby’s diet during illness should be properly balanced, with attention to digestible proteins, and more vegetables and fruits should be consumed. During fever, it is recommended to base the diet on light, easy-to-digest, and semi-liquid foods.
