Question
A child experienced cough symptoms, diagnosed with pneumonia, and received five days of intravenous treatment at People’s Hospital. However, within the first 28 days after treatment, the cough symptoms did not completely subside, especially in the morning when coughing was frequent, and almost no coughing occurred from night to the next morning. How should one further treat recurring pediatric pneumonia?
Answer
For the situation you described, it is recommended to discuss further with the doctor who issued the examination order. In daily life, ensure that the child has adequate rest and sleep and maintains a positive and calm attitude. In case of any discomfort, medical consultation should be sought at any time. Additionally, in the process of treating pediatric pneumonia, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient’s dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. It is advisable to avoid excessive tension and worry to prevent unnecessary impacts on the recovery from pediatric pneumonia.
