This morning, the baby had a fever once, and again in the afternoon. Previous treatment and its effects: The baby has pneumonia, what kind of help is needed?
Answer
Dear inquirer, your baby has been diagnosed with pneumonia. Based on your description, it is recommended to give the baby anti-inflammatory medication, and suggest that you help the baby with back patting. Pay attention to a light and easy-to-digest diet, maintain smooth bowel movements, and use nebulizer inhalation therapy if necessary, to promptly reduce the baby’s fever. These are the suggestions for the question ‘How to treat a 6-month-old baby who repeatedly has a fever and coughs.’ I hope this helps you, and wish your baby a speedy recovery!
