Question
A three-and-a-half-month-old baby has been experiencing a fever and mild cough. After hospital examination, it was confirmed to have pneumonia and mycoplasma infection, and received five days of intravenous treatment, with the fever subsiding. However, a urine test showed a negative mycoplasma infection, and the doctor prescribed medication. Two days after the intravenous treatment, the child still coughs. Now on the sixth day, the coughing persists. How should parents handle the situation?
Answer
The acute phase of pneumonia treatment usually requires 10 to 14 days, with full recovery possibly taking 1 to 3 months. Keep the indoor air fresh by opening windows for ventilation at least twice a day, each for 20 minutes, to reduce the chance of respiratory infections. Maintain indoor temperature between 22 to 25 degrees Celsius and humidity between 50% to 60%. Additionally, reduce the baby’s visits to public places, especially during flu outbreaks. Try to avoid taking the child to crowded places like malls and convenience stores, and also avoid visiting sick people’s homes to prevent cross-infection.
