Patient's question:
My child is 4 years old. Every time they have a cold and cough, they wheeze. They also wheeze when they are tired. After taking medicine, it can be reduced a little, but the same thing happens the next time they get a cold. How can I determine if it's pediatric pneumonia?Doctor's answer:
Pneumonia in children is a common and frequently occurring disease, which can occur in all four seasons, but is more prevalent during the cold winter and spring seasons and during sudden changes in weather. The onset can be either sudden or gradual, but it is more commonly acute. It is often a result of the progression from upper respiratory infections and bronchitis, and can also be secondary to respiratory infectious diseases such as measles and whooping cough. This condition poses a significant threat to children's health and generally requires intravenous treatment.
