Patient's question:
I would like to ask how to treat pediatric pneumonia. What kind of medication has fewer side effects on the child's body? A few days ago, the child mainly had a cold, possibly caught a cold while taking a bath at home. We didn't pay much attention and didn't give any cold medicine. It lingered for a long time, and recently it turned into pediatric pneumonia.Doctor's answer:
Hello, has your child been diagnosed with pneumonia at the hospital? In terms of treatment, it is recommended to first have a blood test to check whether it is a bacterial infection or a viral infection. If it is a bacterial infection, it is recommended to take oral antibiotics, such as Cefixime granules. If it is a viral infection, it is recommended to take oral antiviral drugs, such as Oseltamivir, while also taking oral lung-cleansing and blood-cooling medications.
