Question
A 2-year-old and 10-month-old child has been suffering from severe coughing for several days. Since two days ago, the child has been drinking traditional Chinese medicine, and the condition has slightly improved after three days, but the cough is still present. Is pediatric pneumonia hard to treat?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric pneumonia depends on whether it is treated appropriately. It generally requires a detailed examination to determine the appropriate treatment method. It is recommended to undergo a routine blood test, take a chest X-ray, and perform sputum secretion culture and drug sensitivity tests to find the appropriate medication. In addition to conventional treatment, patients should also pay attention to eating a light diet and avoiding spicy or irritating foods. At the same time, choose authoritative hospitals to ensure the best treatment outcomes.
