Patient's question:
The child had a cough and fever a week ago and was treated at Taiyuan Cangping District Central Hospital.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be pneumonia, and antiviral treatment is the most important part of pneumonia treatment. The treatment of bacterial pneumonia includes empirical treatment and pathogen-directed treatment. The former is mainly based on the epidemiological data of pneumonia pathogens in the local area or unit to select antimicrobial drugs that may cover the pathogens. The latter is based on the culture and drug sensitivity test results of respiratory or lung tissue samples to select antimicrobial drugs that are sensitive in vitro. In addition, antimicrobial drugs and routes of administration should be selected based on the patient's age, presence or absence of underlying diseases, whether aspiration has occurred, whether the patient is in a general ward or an intensive care unit, the length of hospital stay, and the severity of pneumonia.
