Patient's question:
Here is the English translation of the provided content, with the exception of the newline characters which remain unchanged:He is a premature baby, born after being in the womb for less than 8 months. His health has generally been decent, but recently he has been constantly experiencing cough symptoms. Last month, he had a high fever for several days, after which he started experiencing fever symptoms. These then became recurrent high fevers that wouldn't subside. When he went back to the hospital for follow-up, it was discovered that he had interstitial lymphocytic pneumonia. He is currently undergoing treatment.
What kind of assistance is needed: How should interstitial lymphocytic pneumonia be treated in children?
Doctor's answer:
Antimicrobial therapy is the most important aspect of pneumonia treatment. The treatment of bacterial pneumonia includes empirical therapy and pathogen-directed therapy. The former is primarily based on the epidemiological data of pneumonia pathogens in the local area or unit to determine the antimicrobial agents that may cover the pathogens. The latter is determined based on the culture and drug sensitivity test results of respiratory or pulmonary specimens to decide the in vitro sensitive antimicrobial agents. Parents should pay close attention to keeping their children warm and avoid catching colds easily.
