Patient's question:
The baby's X-ray shows pneumonia, but the clinical diagnosis through percussion indicates it's mild and not serious. After two days of intravenous fluids, the condition improved, but the prescribed medication was refused. By the third day, the baby started coughing frequently. The doctor initially prescribed two types of injections, which were unavailable, so later, Ceftriaxone powder for injection, sodium chloride injection, and glucose injection were administered. After two more days of intravenous fluids, the baby was re-admitted and another doctor prescribed the same medications. After the third day of intravenous fluids, the coughing intensified, and the previous injections were no longer used. The baby was re-admitted, and the current medication was prescribed. Is this medication effective for pneumonia?Doctor's answer:
According to your description and the prescription, both of these medications are antibiotics that can treat pneumonia. It is recommended to give the baby more water, more fruits and vegetables, and a light diet. Follow the doctor's advice to administer intravenous fluids on time, and cooperate with each other to do a nebulizer for moistening the throat and clearing the lungs.
