Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination indicated a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. Could you please tell me what specific treatment methods are available for spherical pneumonia?Doctor's answer:
Oxygen therapy: It is one of the main therapies for correcting hypoxemia, preventing respiratory failure, and reducing pulmonary and cerebral edema.Antibiotic treatment: Antibiotics are primarily used for bacterial pneumonia, mycoplasma pneumonia, chlamydial pneumonia, and viral pneumonia with secondary bacterial infections. Before treatment, throat secretions, blood, or pleural effusion cultures should be performed along with drug sensitivity tests to select effective medications targeted at the pathogen. For children who have not been treated with antibiotics and whose pathogen is unknown, penicillin should be the first choice.
