Patient's question:
A few days ago, my child got pneumonia and has been crying for a few days because of the pain. Now, they are still drinking and I am very anxious. How should I take care of a child with pneumonia and what should I pay attention to, including dietary aspects?Doctor's answer:
If you have pneumonia, it is characterized by fever, coughing, and phlegm. In severe cases, it may lead to muscle pain in the limbs. In terms of diet, it is recommended to eat light and drink plenty of fruit juice. The diet should be nutritious and easy to digest. Drinking a large amount of fruit liquid can help thoroughly eliminate secretions from the lungs. It can also aid in digesting lactic acid bacteria. When taking antibiotics, remember to consume lactic acid to maintain a balanced level of beneficial bacteria in the body. You can take capsules or acidophilus three times a day. Alternatively, you can drink yogurt.
