Patient's question:
Got pneumonia and have been taking medication for three days. I often hum while taking a nap and am frequently awakened by phlegm. Is it serious? How should it be treated? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Taking medication for three days. What kind of assistance is needed: Phlegm is hard to cough up. What are some effective methods to help it work?Doctor's answer:
A three-year-old child has pneumonia and has been receiving injections for three days. Now, they wake up from sleep due to difficulty breathing. No matter what, they will not cough up phlegm, but prolonged phlegm can lead to pneumonia. They can take some blood-cooling medicine. Adults can gently pat the child's back from bottom to top.Advice: The child is weak, and they usually only cough dryly. If this situation occurs again, hold the child upright, gently shake them, and pat their back. If it doesn't work, it's recommended to seek the help of a pediatrician as soon as possible.
