Patient's question:
The child has pneumonia, with both fever and cough. Over the past two days, the fever has been low-grade. I'm really afraid this child's mind will go bad. Mainly, if the pneumonia gets infected, it could worsen severely. I'm quite anxious. How should children with pneumonia be treated with medication?Doctor's answer:
Children with pneumonia need to improve the etiological examination to determine whether it is caused by bacterial infection or mycoplasma infection. Therefore, mycoplasma titer tests can be performed. Additionally, it is important to carefully observe the symptoms of the baby's pneumonia, such as coughing, breathing, and the characteristics and frequency of fever. Most cases are generally caused by bacterial infection, so antiviral treatment is required. Therefore, it is recommended to hospitalize for close observation when the infection is severe. Furthermore, improve chest X-ray and other examinations.
