Question
What should be done next when a child has a wheezing sound during a pediatric pneumonia auscultation?
Answer
Based on the baby’s condition, the main consideration is the symptoms caused by bronchitis due to an upper respiratory infection. Your child’s white blood cell count is 1.69 (normal range 0.4-1.0), which is higher, suggesting a bacterial infection. It is recommended to administer intravenous fluids for about 3 days. If you prefer not to use intravenous fluids, you can take cefixime along with pediatric Qingfei Liuxue Oral Liquid and ambroxol for treatment. Drink plenty of water and ensure adequate rest. There are various treatment methods for pediatric pneumonia, but since the patient’s condition varies, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, it is suggested that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as they notice symptoms.
