Question
A 9-year-old child was diagnosed with second-degree neuron pneumonia caused by hand, foot, and mouth disease on December 23, 2012. The child underwent five days of hospitalization and was treated with penicillin, ambroxol, and virazole. Five days after discharge, the child developed a high fever again and was admitted to the hospital on January 7, 2010. What recommendations does the doctor have for the child’s condition?
Answer
The child has experienced multiple recurrent respiratory infections. Possible causes include: 1. Post-pneumonia sequelae, where the child’s respiratory mucosal protective barrier is damaged, making it easy to catch infections. 2. Decreased immunity or immune function, which may be related to the previous pneumonia. Children with weakened immune function are prone to recurrent infections. 3. Allergic constitution; even without wheezing, coughs may occur repeatedly, especially at night and in the morning, so caution is advised. Do parents have any allergic diseases? Does the child have a history of drug or food allergies? If it is cough variant asthma, it is also prone to recurrent attacks. 4. Sinusitis; if the child has a sinusitis foundation, they are also prone to recurrent coughing.
