Question
Main Symptoms: Occasional coughing; Onset Time: 3 weeks ago; Lab Test Results: Mycoplasma negative; Past Treatment and Effectiveness: 10 days of intravenous drip, using ceftriaxone and azithromycin.
Answer
Generally, a child’s pneumonia can heal within 1 to 2 weeks, but this depends on individual circumstances. The child’s constitution, care situation, and the effectiveness of the medication all affect the treatment outcome. The child is currently only occasionally coughing and has already had an intravenous drip for 10 days. It is recommended to undergo a chest X-ray to confirm the lung condition. If there are no abnormalities, you can go home and take medication. Wishing your child a speedy recovery!
