Question
What health care measures can be taken for pediatric pneumonia?
Answer
For children with pneumonia, parents need to be careful and attentive, monitoring the child’s body temperature and respiratory condition. It’s important to keep the room fresh and quiet, ensuring the child gets enough rest. For diet, easy-to-digest, high-calorie, and vitamin-rich foods should be served, with soft foods being preferable for easy digestion. When the child coughs, patting their back helps expel phlegm; do this by patting from the bottom up. The room should not be too dry, and the child should drink an appropriate amount of water to dilute the phlegm, facilitating its expulsion.
