Patient's question:
My child has pneumonia and isn't feeling well, lacking energy and a poor complexion. Once, the phlegm he coughed up even had blood in it. The coughing was very severe, his temperature was high, and he was very thin with a pale face. He felt both short of breath and had a stuffy, painful chest. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Suddenly, pneumonia can lead to more problems, such as fever and respiratory issues. Honestly, it can even cause death. It's crucial to address it promptly. Pneumonia in children under 2 months old usually doesn't cause fever, especially after choking on milk. Young children at home are prone to accidents. Even inappropriate treatment in the hospital can cause problems, let alone at home. To avoid accidents, it's best to be hospitalized for treatment. Monitor the child closely. If anything happens, I will regret it for my entire life. Chest X-rays show increased texture in both lungs, becoming blurred, with visible spots and hazy shadows. This is a sign of pneumonia.
