Question
What medication is best for pediatric bronchopneumonia?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric bronchopneumonia should be based on the causative agent. Common pathogens include bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, and fungi. Bacterial pneumonia can be treated with penicillin-type antibiotics, while viral pneumonia may be treated with antiviral drugs like Qingkailing, mycoplasma pneumonia with erythromycin-type antibiotics, and fungal pneumonia with antifungal drugs like fluconazole. While treating the patient, they should rest, keep warm, drink plenty of water, and use physical or drug-based cooling depending on the fever, as well as other symptomatic treatments. Preventive measures include avoiding smoking and alcohol, enhancing immunity, and receiving relevant vaccines.
