Patient's question:
The baby is 7 months old and has a cold. They are also coughing, slightly feverish in the morning and evening, and coughing more severely at night. It has been almost two weeks. They have taken cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, and cough syrup, but the symptoms are not improving. How is infant pneumonia caused?Doctor's answer:
The child has been coughing for a long time, coughing so hard that the skin broke. After checking, they were diagnosed with pneumonia. Pneumonia in children is generally related to bacterial infection, so it is necessary to actively use anti-inflammatory and expectorant cough medicine for intravenous treatment. Give the child more water to drink and more vegetables and fruits. Pay attention to keeping warm. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a formal, top-tier hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations based on their own condition to receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, do a good job of keeping warm, eat light and soft foods, keep the room well-ventilated, and drink more hot water.
