Patient's question:
The baby is 4 years old. Seven days ago, they had a fever during their nap, usually reaching 39 degrees Celsius. They went to the hospital for four days to get a urine test, and it was said to be a respiratory infection. Yesterday, they started coughing badly and went to the hospital for an X-ray. The report showed: "Large, well-defined, uneven-density shadows were observed in the upper lobe of the right lung. Impression: Infection in the upper lobe of the right lung." Then they took a CT scan, a chest plain scan. What is wrong with the baby? What should be done?Doctor's answer:
As you mentioned, the baby has a cold, fever, and cough. After a thorough examination, it was found to be pneumonia. In the baby's case, with symptoms of a cold, fever, and cough, the examination results showed an infectious pneumonia in the upper lobe of the right lung. In such a situation, it is important to actively cooperate with the doctor for lung clearance, anti-inflammatory treatment, and intravenous fluids. The above is the advice for the question "What should I do if my 4-year-old has a high fever and severe cough?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
