Patient's question:
Because the baby has pneumonia again, which is why he has been hospitalized for intravenous treatment these past few days. However, the baby is completely weak and helpless in the hospital, crying all the time. I want to know how many days of intravenous treatment are usually needed for a child to recover from pneumonia again?Doctor's answer:
If the baby frequently reappears for a long time, it may lead to a recurrence of pneumonia, and pneumonia is caused by lung inflammation. During treatment, medication or intravenous fluids are usually required. After seven days of treatment, a follow-up revealed that the pneumonia had not improved, and the doctor recommended another two days of treatment. After returning home, the baby experienced symptoms of a cold, dry cough, nausea, vomiting, and coughing. They continued to receive intravenous fluids at the local hospital. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
