Question

A family member recently discovered that their niece has been feeling unwell all over, frequently feeling tired, with a severe loss of appetite and significant weight loss. She also has symptoms such as coughing, sputum, and chest pain. They are worried that the niece may have pulmonary tuberculosis and are seeking effective treatment methods for childhood pulmonary tuberculosis and daily precautions to take.

Answer

To enhance physical health and boost immunity, it is recommended to engage in scientific and reasonable nutrition intake and moderate physical exercise. At the same time, maintain good environmental hygiene, actively prevent other respiratory infectious diseases such as measles and pertussis, which can help prevent tuberculosis. Children with pulmonary tuberculosis should ensure adequate outdoor activities to breathe fresh air, and pay attention to rest and maintain a high-nutrition diet to reduce resistance to tuberculosis. In terms of treatment, the use of anti-tuberculosis drugs should follow the principles of early use, regularity, full course, combination, and adequate dosage, with early correct medication being crucial.
