How to deal with coughing after pneumonia recovery for a 1-year-3-month-old baby?

Patient's question:

1-year-old and 3-month-old baby, pneumonia infusion for 7 days and came home, then the mother got sick again, now the child has been coughing for three days, taking medicine every day, but it hasn't improved

Doctor's answer:

A one-year-old and three-month-old baby was treated with intravenous fluids for pneumonia for seven days and then went home. The mother then became sick again. Now the baby has been coughing for three days, and medication treatment has not shown improvement. The baby likely has a recurrence of pneumonia. A recently recovered baby has a weakened immune system and is particularly susceptible to worsening the condition after contact with a new patient. In this case, it is necessary to go to the pediatric department of the hospital for a follow-up visit, perform a blood routine test and Mycoplasma antibody test to identify the pathogen, and perform lung percussion if necessary, followed by a chest X-ray. Based on the results, specific treatment can be administered.
