Patient's question:
My baby is ten years old. Recently, he has been coughing, and I'm worried it might be pneumonia. What are the symptoms of pneumonia in children?Doctor's answer:
A 10-year-old child has symptoms of cough and sputum. Generally, they need to be treated in the hospital. If it doesn't improve for a long time, it is best to undergo a lung scan to check if there are any shadows in the lungs. If they have pneumonia, antibiotics can be used for anti-inflammatory treatment. At the same time, oral expectorants and cough suppressants should be taken to promote the discharge of sputum from the trachea. Usually, it is important to pay attention to whether the body temperature rises.
