Patient's question:
Born with pneumonia, then had a brain CT, which indicated ischemic hypoxic encephalopathy. Started experiencing lethargy, low-grade fever, and increased muscle tone.Doctor's answer:
Children with pneumonia are recommended to undergo sputum culture and drug sensitivity tests to guide antibiotic treatment. Nursing care should be strengthened to ensure adequate rest, nutrition, and fluid intake, maintain respiratory tract patency, actively control infection, and prevent complications. Symptomatic treatment should be administered promptly, including sedation, fever reduction, cough relief, bronchodilation, antihistamines, expectoration, oxygen therapy, and correction of electrolyte imbalances.
