Question

Is it necessary to administer intravenous fluids for children with pneumonia? How should I treat this condition?

Answer

For mild cases of pediatric pneumonia, oral medications combined with nebulizer inhalation therapy can be used, usually without the need for intravenous treatment. You can give your child Qingfei Re (clear lung heat) and Azithromycin oral medications, along with Ju Hong Granules and Amoxicillin for treatment. If severe respiratory difficulties occur, you can take Montelukast chewable tablets to alleviate asthma symptoms and smooth muscle spasms.
