How to Treat and Prevent Pneumonia Caused by Repeated Coughing in a Child?

Question

My son has been repeatedly coughing recently, and now his cough has led to pneumonia. How should we treat and prevent it?

Answer

The child has developed pneumonia again due to repeated colds and coughs, which may be related to weak immunity and possibly chronic bronchitis. Generally speaking, the likelihood of pneumonia is low if the child does not have a fever or coughing symptoms. It is recommended to drink plenty of water, get plenty of sunlight, avoid eating foods that cause diarrhea, and consider vaccination against Haemophilus influenzae type b and influenza. Oral transfer factors can enhance immunity. During treatment, pay close attention to the child’s water intake and use nebulizer inhalation therapy to improve cough symptoms.
