Question
My baby is 6 months old and has a cold with coughing. They have a slight fever in the morning and evening, and coughing is more severe at night. It’s almost two weeks now, and they’ve taken cold medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs, and cough syrup, but the effect is not obvious. What are the early symptoms of neonatal pneumonia?
Answer
The main symptoms of pediatric pneumonia include coughing, fever, sputum sounds, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing. It is advised to take your child to the hospital for a check-up promptly, confirm the cause after diagnosis, and receive targeted treatment to prevent the condition from becoming severe. In daily care, it’s important to increase fluid intake for the child, maintain good indoor ventilation with a flow of fresh air. If there is a lot of coughing with sputum, it may be necessary to go to the hospital for a nebulization treatment to alleviate symptoms.
