Patient's question:
I have right lower lobe pneumonia and have been on intravenous drip for 7 days. I no longer have a high fever, but I still have yellow sputum.Treatment history and effectiveness:
Currently, I am using penicillin, but some doctors say that cephalexin is better.
What kind of help is needed:
Is it suitable to use penicillin or should I switch to cephalexin?
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you further carefully check, actively fight inflammation, treat, and base your diet on light food. Eat more foods rich in vitamin A to promote the health of the respiratory tract mucosa. When treating at home during milder pneumonia or recovery, the room air should always remain fresh, with appropriate temperature and humidity. The diet should be highly nutritious and easily digestible. The above suggestions are for the question "Right lower lobe pneumonia, male, 40 years old, Jilin."
