Question

How to treat cough caused by bronchopneumonia, especially when it worsens after exercise?

Answer

The treatment for general pneumonia should combine traditional and Western medicine, along with comprehensive measures. Starting from a holistic perspective, strengthen care, ensure adequate rest, nutrition, and fluid intake, actively suppress infection to prevent complications. Implement symptomatic treatment in a timely manner, including sedation, cough suppression, asthma relief, strengthening the heart, correcting respiratory failure, and correcting water and electrolyte imbalances. Typically, antibiotic use should continue for 3-7 days after the body temperature returns to normal before stopping the medication.
