Patient's question:
At 18 days, I was diagnosed with mild pneumonia. I received intravenous fluids for 4 days, and now I'm taking medication, including Cephalexin and Fructose. A few days ago, I vomited milk, and recently I've been coughing a lot with bubbles in my mouth, feeling like I have phlegm.Doctor's answer:
Pneumonia is a common respiratory disease. Pneumonia is also very common in infants. The treatment of infant pneumonia mainly depends on the type and severity of pneumonia. If it is bacterial pneumonia, doctors will use antibiotics for treatment. Since antibiotics are ineffective in treating viral pneumonia, treatment may be limited to rest and fluid supplementation. In fact, it is very important to provide infants with adequate fluids, which can help them combat dehydration caused by shortness of breath and fever.
