Question
After 5 days of intravenous treatment for infant pneumonia, do I still need to continue taking anti-inflammatory medication? I have already been taking medication for 10 days, can I continue?
Answer
Pediatric pneumonia is a common and frequently occurring disease that can happen year-round, but it is more common during the cold season of winter and spring as well as during dramatic changes in weather. The onset can be acute or chronic, with acute onset being more common. It usually originates from upper respiratory infections and bronchitis and sometimes follows infectious diseases such as measles and whooping cough. This disease poses a significant threat to a child’s health and typically requires intravenous treatment, and it can be attempted to use penicillin.
