Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation, following your instructions:Okay, initially for the first half month, she had high fever 3 times. Later, she started coughing, and vomiting whenever she drank milk. Because I had to go to work, and her grandmother didn't understand Mandarin, I took her to the hospital for an IV drip.

Doctor's answer:
Children with pneumonia show symptoms such as fever, cough, difficulty breathing, and bluish lips and nails. A bubbling sound may be heard during lung percussion. Some children may experience dry retching, nausea, vomiting, and restlessness. It is important to seek medical attention promptly. Nursing care for children with pneumonia is crucial. First, it is essential to maintain fresh indoor air, with appropriate room temperature and humidity. Open windows and doors at least twice or three times a day for quick ventilation, keeping the room temperature around 20℃. Smoking is strictly prohibited indoors, and cooking fumes or smoke must not enter the living space, as this can irritate the respiratory tract and worsen coughing.
