Patient's question:
My child recently contracted pneumonia and received intravenous fluids for half a month. The X-ray showed improvement, but after a week, they still have a cough with phlegm. Could you please advise on what to do next for a 7-month-old baby with pneumonia?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is recommended to use azithromycin 0.07 grams for the baby. It is advised to let the baby drink more water and ensure the indoor air is not too dry. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should avoid extremely cold, spicy, and irritating foods. Pediatric pneumonia is a serious condition, and it is recommended that the patient receive timely symptomatic treatment in accordance with the doctor's advice. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to personal care and maintain a proper diet to avoid worsening the condition. The above answer is hoped to be helpful to you. Thank you.
