Question

How long does it typically take for a child’s pneumonia to fully recover?

Answer

Generally, after intravenous treatment for pediatric pneumonia, as long as the lung auscultation shows no dry or wet rales, and only a few coughs are normal. Usually, coughing takes some time to completely recover, and during this period, you can temporarily discontinue the use of antibiotics and switch to taking lung-clearing and blood-cooling medications. As for the time it takes to fully recover, it varies from person to person and may take some time. As long as there are no lung symptoms, pay attention to replenishing fluids and nutrition in your diet, and carefully observe for a few days. You can drink pear juice and rock sugar. At the same time, maintain indoor humidity and temperature, avoiding overly dry air.
