Patient's question:
My mother got bronchopneumonia a few days ago. At first, it was just coughing, but later the cough became weaker and weaker, so she went to the hospital. They said she had bronchopneumonia. Now she has to take medicine and get IV drips every day for treatment while resting at home. The doctor said that even when resting at home, she should pay attention to many details in daily life to help the condition improve.What kind of assistance is needed: What should bronchopneumonia patients pay attention to in their daily lives?
Doctor's answer:
Bronchopneumonia patients should receive preventive training in daily life. Targeting the triggers of bronchitis, personal hygiene should be enhanced, including tennis, breathing exercises, and cold endurance training, to strengthen the body and prevent fever, especially avoiding smoking. In terms of diet, a balanced diet should be provided to enhance the resistance of the respiratory tract. A small amount of food should be eaten more frequently, divided into 6 meals per day. Easily digestible and absorbable foods should be provided, with high-quality protein such as animal protein and soy protein as the foundation. Sufficient vitamins A and C should be consumed. Daily water intake should be at least 2000ml.
