Patient's question:
My baby is only a few months old. Recently, their appetite has decreased, and they have been crying and fussing a lot. I don't know what's wrong with them. After a checkup, it was found that they have infantile pneumonia. How is infantile pneumonia treated and how can it get better?Doctor's answer:
After the baby gets pneumonia, it is necessary to rest in bed and maintain a quiet and well-ventilated environment. In winter, the air is often dry, and the presence of heating can worsen the baby's condition. It is best to install a humidifier indoors to significantly increase the air humidity, which is beneficial for expectorating phlegm.Third, enhance nutrition. During the illness, the baby's diet must be properly balanced, focusing on digestible protein and consuming more vegetables and fruits. During feverish periods, a light and easily digestible, liquid or semi-liquid diet should be the foundation.
