Question
The 4-year-old child has pneumonia and has been on intravenous drips for 11 days. For the first few days, there was still a high fever that wouldn’t subside. Recently, there has been a stuffy nose, snoring at night, and difficulty breathing during sleep. Why is this happening? What kind of help is needed? What medications or treatment methods can be adopted?
Answer
The treatment for a child’s pneumonia may take a longer time, and if it is caused by mycoplasma infection, the treatment time may be even longer. Children have weaker resistance, so the progress of treatment may be slower. Parents should actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment and can also consider using traditional Chinese medicine as an auxiliary treatment, while also enhancing the child’s nutrition to improve their resistance. The difficulty in breathing at night may be due to pneumonia, so it is necessary to focus on intravenous treatment and undergo careful examination and treatment in large, regular hospitals.
