Patient's question:
The day before yesterday afternoon Fever CoughDoctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric pneumonia usually involves intravenous administration of high doses of penicillin. For patients allergic to penicillin, erythromycin is used instead. Alternatively, interferon or acyclovir can be administered via ultrasonic nebulization therapy. Oral pediatric ammonium chloride mixture can be given to relieve cough and asthma. Attention should be paid to nutrition and fluid intake; a light, easily digestible diet rich in various vitamins is recommended. During recovery, children should be provided with nutrient-rich, high-calorie foods.
