Is it necessary to have an intravenous drip for pediatric pneumonia?

Patient's question:

Does pediatric pneumonia necessarily require intravenous drip? For this type of illness, how should I treat it?

Doctor's answer:

When pediatric pneumonia is not severe, oral medication can be used for treatment, supplemented with inhalation therapy. Generally, it is not recommended to use intravenous therapy if the condition is not severe. You can give the child pediatric lung clearing and cooling blood medicine. This should be combined with oral azithromycin. You can also take orange red granules, combined with amoxicillin treatment. If the child is wheezing severely, you can take montelukast chewable tablets to relieve asthma and alleviate severe pain in the urethral smooth muscles.
