Patient's question:
The child is very young, only 5 years old. Recently, they contracted pneumonia and had to be rushed to the hospital for anti-inflammatory treatment. However, they are still running a fever, and there are concerns about developing encephalitis. I want to know the symptoms of pneumonia turning into encephalitis?Doctor's answer:
The common cold is a self-limiting illness. The primary treatment for the common cold is symptomatic relief. It should be said that there is no significant difference in the effectiveness of treating the common cold with intravenous fluids or oral medications. In your case, there is no need to focus solely on intravenous fluids. You can continue to take oral medications for a few more days, pay attention to drinking plenty of water, getting adequate rest, eating a light diet, and avoiding spicy or irritating foods.
