Patient's question:
At three years old, my child has a respiratory infection pneumonia, and neither medication nor injections are effective. They frequently experience intermittent infections. Is it okay to give them amoxicillin, which is meant for adults?Doctor's answer:
Pneumonia is typically a complication caused by viral infections such as the common cold or influenza, but it can also be caused by bacterial infections. It is a common acute upper respiratory infection in children. If it is confirmed to be a bacterial infection, Amoxicillin can be taken for treatment. However, since pneumonia in children has a long course and is difficult to control, it is necessary to actively cooperate with the doctor and pay attention to the rational use of medication.
