Patient's question:
The baby is experiencing choking while drinking milk, with a rattling sound, as if there is phlegm. However, there is no fever, and no other symptoms. When taken to the hospital, an X-ray revealed pneumonia. How is pneumonia treated?Doctor's answer:
Your baby has pneumonia, which is caused by a bacterial infection. First, you should pay attention to rest. A light, warm, and easily digestible diet is very important. Drinking plenty of water is also important. Generally, going to a secondary or higher-level hospital is acceptable. Has the child's condition improved? If it has, continue the treatment. The child will not be transferred to another hospital for treatment. If the hospital is still concerned, you can also see the situation of the child being transferred to the hospital. The treatment for pneumonia is approximately 7-10 days. Considering general pneumonia, when the medication is sufficient to complete the treatment course, the patient can be discharged. There is no need to worry.
