How to deal with recurrent fever in children with pneumonia

Patient's question:

My child is 3 years old. Every time they have a cold and cough, they experience wheezing. They also wheeze when they are tired. After taking medicine, it can be reduced a bit, but the same thing happens the next time they get a cold. How should I deal with repeated fever in children with pneumonia?

Doctor's answer:

First, when a child has a fever, it is essential to lower their temperature promptly, either through physical cooling or by taking fever-reducing medication. They can also take some lung-cleansing and asthma-relieving medications to alleviate symptoms. If necessary, they can undergo a nebulization treatment, which helps with recovery. Enhance daily care by ensuring the child drinks plenty of fluids and maintaining well-supplied indoor air to prevent dryness. Different causes can lead to different symptoms, and patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and warmth, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water daily.
