Does children pneumonia have phlegm?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, when I had dinner with my best friend, she told me that only after having a child did she truly understand the hardships of being a parent. Recently, when her child went to the hospital for a check-up, it was discovered that they had pneumonia. But does infant pneumonia cause phlegm?

Doctor's answer:

For newborns, you can give them a treatment, which helps to clean respiratory inflammation. It has a very good therapeutic effect on children with pneumonia. This is something you should pay attention to—dietary intake can help promote metabolism, which is beneficial for his body to recover completely.
If the baby still has lung inflammation, you can take antibiotics like cefixime and azithromycin, combined with children's cough and asthma tablets or children's lung-clearing syrup for treatment. It’s helpful to give the baby warm water to dissolve mucus, which aids in the expulsion of mucus.
