Question
How to Treat Pediatric Pneumonia with Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Answer
It is not recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine during the acute stage of pediatric pneumonia to avoid delaying the condition. In the recovery phase, traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be considered, including oral Chinese medicine, regional application, and acupoint stimulation. Pneumonia has a long course, with antibiotic treatment usually requiring 7 to 10 days, and the recovery period may last from 1 to 3 months.
