Patient's question:
Fever for eleven days, cough is not obvious, did a CT, it's lobar pneumonia. Now the illness has been going on for almost a month, and there's still phlegm. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Pneumococcal pneumonia should first be actively controlled to prevent transmission, such as with penicillin, erythromycin, and cephalosporins. Proper dietary habits should be maintained, along with enhanced care, digestive vitamins, and nutritional support. In most cases, the condition can improve significantly. For excessive phlegm, ambroxol hydrochloride oral solution can be used. Generally, complete recovery can be achieved within 4-8 weeks. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and warmth, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of warm water to prevent the condition from recurring.
