How to treat pneumonia, hospitalization, cough, fever, and vomiting in children

Patient's question:

My child was hospitalized for pneumonia for 8 days, undergoing intravenous drips and inhalation treatments. After discharge, he stayed at home for less than two days and experienced coughing, fever, and abdominal pain. The day before yesterday, he vomited three times and appeared pale afterward. He has taken fever-reducing medication five times, but the fever still recurs. When he has a fever, he loses appetite and lacks energy. Once the fever subsides, he plays for a while.

Doctor's answer:

The symptoms of the baby may indicate another lung infection. It is recommended to check blood routine and C-reactive protein at a formal pediatric hospital for further examination. Treatment should be symptomatic based on the results of the thorough examination. If the baby has projectile dry vomiting, a brain CT scan should be performed. During the hospital stay, the diet should be light, and the child should be given more water to drink. The child should rest more and cooperate with the doctor's treatment. Do not worry too much.
