Patient's question:
A one-year-old girl got pneumonia and was hospitalized for 20 days, but she didn't get better despite continuous intravenous infusion. Later, we were worried about the side effects of too much medication, so we discharged her and took her home. After returning home, we used medicine prescribed by a local barefoot doctor, injecting it into the baby's rectum with a syringe twice a day. However, it had no effect, so we stopped using it. That night, the baby slept continuously until the next day, and even after half a day, she was still sleeping and lacked energy. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
In this case, you can use levofloxacin or azithromycin for treatment. Additionally, drink plenty of plain water, pay attention to keeping warm, and take appropriate walks to stabilize blood circulation, which is beneficial for a full recovery. Maintain a light diet, eat less fat, meat, and dairy products, and consume more fresh fruits and vegetables to reduce the body's stress. The best treatment method is still hospitalization, which requires further careful examinations, such as cardiac enzymes.
