Patient's question:
The baby got pneumonia a week ago, but they were discharged from the hospital only a week ago. Now, the X-ray results say it's pneumonia again, and it seems even more severe than before. They look very tired when they breathe.Doctor's answer:
This parent confirms that your child's pneumonia has reappeared repeatedly. Generally, pneumonia takes two months to fully recover. If your child was hospitalized for pneumonia a few days ago and has recovered and been discharged, but then experiences difficulty breathing and shortness of breath again, it is recommended to seek further medical treatment at the hospital. Antimicrobial treatment is usually necessary. The child's diet should be light and avoid excessively greasy foods. If shortness of breath and coughing reappear, it is suggested to coordinate with the use of inhalation therapy. Oral traditional Chinese medicine treatment has shown good results.
