Patient's question:
Dietary Therapy for Pediatric Pneumonia?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of pediatric lung disease, if in the acute phase, should be treated in the hospital. This condition changes rapidly, and if dietary methods are used for treatment during the acute phase, it will delay the condition and is not reliable. If dietary therapy is desired, it should be implemented during the later stage of the illness, when recovery is almost complete, to nourish and regulate lingering cough symptoms. An example of this is steaming pears with added sour pears, Fritillaria cirrhosa powder, and rock sugar, consuming both the pear and the juice. This method can be effective in treating cough symptoms associated with the later stage of pneumonia.
