Patient's question:
The child has been breastfeeding for seven days. She has had a runny nose for six days without diarrhea. The doctor said her lungs need to be hospitalized. How many days of hospitalization are required in this case?Doctor's answer:
Pneumonia requires hospitalization for children. It's good to stay in the hospital quickly. You can receive two IV drips a day to prevent cross infection. It takes about a week because the child is young and cannot use hormones, so the medication time will be slightly longer than for adults. It's not a big deal as long as you use the medication properly, it can be treated well. It is recommended not to be tired at home and to have a light diet. You can also do a nebulizer treatment, which is effective and faster, reducing suffering. If pneumonia is not treated properly, it can leave behind chronic issues.
