Question
What to Pay Attention to in the Diet and Medication for Pediatric Pneumonia?
Answer
Pediatric pneumonia often presents with symptoms such as cough, fever, shortness of breath, and nasal dryness and wheezing, primarily caused by external pathogens such as wind-cold and wind-heat. If a child with pneumonia shows a decrease in appetite, it is advisable to feed them in small, frequent meals. After a child gets pneumonia, they should focus on breastfeeding and consume more soup-like foods. Increasing the frequency of breastfeeding can help boost the child’s nutrition and energy. It is important to be particularly vigilant about preventing pneumonia, especially during the cold season, and to maintain an appropriate room temperature.
