Patient's question:
Pneumonia hospitalization, intravenous infusion,, high-frequency heat therapy, stayed in the hospital for over a month, and then discharged. But soon after, I started sneezing and occasionally coughing. Recently, it has become severe. I had a chest X-ray taken, and the clinical diagnosis was pneumonia. Should I need to be hospitalized again? If I don't have the strength, just intravenous infusion, do I need to have 6 bottles a day like before? It's not that I don't have the conditions to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Pneumonia generally requires hospitalization treatment because there is a possibility of it progressing to severe pneumonia. Therefore, it is usually recommended to be hospitalized for intravenous fluid therapy. The amount of fluid infused depends on your specific condition and does not necessarily mean you will receive six bottles of fluid.Guidance: Pneumonia should be treated with intravenous fluids. Whether you need to be hospitalized at home depends on where you obtained your medical insurance, in addition to convenience. Wishing you a speedy recovery and relief from illness.
