How to treat pediatric pneumonia?

Patient's question:

My son has been coughing for two or three days. Today, I took him to the hospital to see a doctor. The doctor said my son has pneumonia and is currently receiving intravenous drips at the hospital. I am very worried about my son, so I wanted to ask you how to treat pediatric pneumonia.

Doctor's answer:

Child pneumonia is primarily caused by infection with pathogens, most commonly occurring after a cold when the baby's resistance is relatively weakened. Under the guidance of a doctor, patients can take diphenhydramine hydrochloride tablets or anacardium phellodendri capsules orally to treat the condition, while drinking plenty of water. In terms of diet, it is advisable to consume foods rich in vitamins and avoid spicy and extremely cold foods. Patients can engage in appropriate activities to enhance their ability to fight the disease.
