Patient's question:
My baby has a weak constitution and tends to catch colds easily with slight carelessness. Generally, a cold follows a fixed progression: a mild cold can worsen and eventually lead to pneumonia. Every time my baby catches a cold, they cough, and pneumonia requires hospital intravenous treatment. The resistance to medication keeps getting stronger. I would like to know if there are any home remedies for treating pediatric pneumonia.Doctor's answer:
Treatment for children's pneumonia doesn't have any home remedies; it's best to go to the hospital for intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment. According to specific symptoms, follow the doctor's guidance for systematic and standardized treatment. Moreover, pneumonia can easily lead to low-grade fever, so close and careful observation is necessary. If resistance to medication reappears, it might be due to prolonged medication use. In such cases, a bacterial culture can be conducted, followed by a drug sensitivity test. Treatment with sensitive medications should be administered. For low immunity, immune-boosting drugs can be used.
