Patient's question:
The child has had pneumonia twice in a row since starting kindergarten over two months ago, being hospitalized twice. Is there any good solution? As soon as they go back to kindergarten, they get colds, cough, and then pneumonia. Is the 23-valent vaccine worth getting?Doctor's answer:
Parents, as you described, the situation of your child is primarily due to the poor resistance of the body or respiratory tract, and thirdly, there are many patients with respiratory infections in the environment. On the other hand, as the age of young children decreases, their range of activity has already begun to increase, and the number of people they come into contact with is constantly growing, which also increases the opportunity for transmission. To reduce your child's resistance, it is first necessary to maintain a balanced diet and avoid picky eating; at the same time, it should be understood that respiratory infections are also a way to enhance the body's autoimmune response, and it is not appropriate to give a lot of medication for treatment at the slightest sign of infection. Appropriately increasing outdoor activities can enhance resistance, and pneumonia vaccines can be used during peak seasons.
