How to treat viral pneumonia?

Patient's question:

Recently I haven't been feeling well, I've contracted viral pneumonia. How is it treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, pneumonia is mainly caused by the infection of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, etc. It can lead to symptoms such as fever, cough, and phlegm, and is often seen after a cold. Currently, for a child with viral pneumonia, oral antiviral liquid and pediatric expectorant and cough granules can be used to relieve symptoms. If the symptoms are severe, intravenous infusion treatment can be considered. Pay attention to keeping the child warm.
