Question

How to treat pediatric pneumonia? The illness has lasted for two months, with symptoms mainly including fever, loud breathing, coughing, and the child was hospitalized for five days and received buttock injections.

Answer

Generally, a high dose of penicillin is administered intravenously; for those allergic to penicillin, Erythromycin is used instead. Alternatively, interferon can be administered, along with the treatment of guanazole nucleoside ultrasonic atomization. Oral pediatric ammonium chloride syrup can be used to relieve cough and asthma. Pay attention to nutrition and fluid intake; breast milk feeding should be maximized, and for infants or children, a diet that is light, easy to digest, and rich in various vitamins should be provided. During the recovery period, the child should be given nutritious and high-calorie foods.
