Patient's question:
My son has been experiencing some fever recently, so he went to the hospital for a check-up. They said it was pneumonia and he was admitted to the hospital. However, his mental state has improved and his condition has also stabilized. I would like to ask if it's necessary for him to stay in the hospital in this situation?Doctor's answer:
The child's age is relatively low, and the resistance to the disease is weak, making the condition prone to fluctuations. Hospitalization is necessary for better observation of the child's condition and symptomatic treatment. Only by treating it thoroughly can we prevent the recurrence of pneumonia from interfering with the child's healthy growth. During this period, it is recommended to give the child more lung-cleansing drinks and eat easily digestible foods. It is best to maintain a certain humidity and let the child rest in bed as much as possible. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
