Patient's question:
If you need to prevent children in the family from getting pneumonia, how should parents do better in prevention and care for their children?Doctor's answer:
Newborns with pneumonia generally have lower immunity, so it is essential to avoid contact with patients suffering from respiratory infections during daily care. Be polite and politely refuse visits from cold patients to see their children. When family members have a cold, they should also pay attention to isolation and wear masks if necessary. Pay attention to ventilation; you can fumigate vinegar with ultraviolet light tubes or disinfect the air. Dress the child in clothes suitable for the season. When the child is sick, the intake of milk must be lower than usual. At this time, do not force-feed the child or feed too much to avoid aspiration and vomiting, which could worsen pneumonia. Do not put the child down immediately after feeding; hold the child more, gently pat their back to prevent milk from flowing back.
