Patient's question:
Child cough, diagnosed with pneumonia and received intravenous fluids for 5 days at People's Hospital. Afterwards, there was a continuous cough for 27 days, with frequent coughing in the morning. After going to bed, there was almost no cough until the morning of the third day. Please ask: What should be done next if there are rales upon auscultation for pediatric pneumonia?Doctor's answer:
Based on your baby's condition, it is mainly considered that the symptoms you mentioned were caused by previous bronchopneumonia. Your child's white blood cell count is 1.69 (normal range: 0.4-1.0), which suggests a bacterial infection. It is recommended to give your child an intravenous drip for about 3 days. If you are reluctant to use an IV, you can take Cefaclor orally combined with Xiao'er Qingfei Liangxue Koufuye and Ambroxol for treatment. Drink plenty of water and pay attention to rest. There are several treatment methods for pediatric pneumonia, but since the condition of each patient is different, the treatment methods will also vary. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment once symptoms are detected.
