Patient's question:
The baby has pneumonia and has been receiving intravenous fluids for 5 days, still having a runny nose. Besides phlegm in the lungs, in the morning, they received one bottle of cefixime and one bottle of ambroxol. After 6 hours, they received cefixime and ambroxol again. Then, after another 6 hours, they received one bottle of cefixime. The baby received 5 bottles of medicine a day, but the condition shows no signs of improvement.Doctor's answer:
The course of pediatric pneumonia is approximately 10-14 days. It is characterized by fever, runny nose, cough, coughing up phlegm, rapid breathing, and even wheezing. For common pneumonia, treatment generally lasts 7-10 days, and antibiotics are usually continued for 5-7 days after the body temperature returns to normal. The above suggestions are for the question "Baby has been on IV for 5 days with still runny nose and phlegm in the lungs." It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
