Question

The child has been crying and fussing recently, and after examination, it was diagnosed with pneumonia. The child also has a persistent high fever. Parents are asking for advice on how to handle the situation.

Answer

The main treatment for pneumonia is anti-infection therapy, involving the selection of sensitive antibiotics targeted at the pathogen. If the child is coughing, it may be due to respiratory infection, and they can take lozenges for clearing phlegm and cough relief, as well as cephalosporin antibiotics, and drink plenty of plain water. In severe cases, consider nebulizer inhalation therapy. For a runny nose, they can take Huotong granules and Xiao Kuaikuai.
