Patient's question:
Child got a cold recently and accidentally developed pneumonia. They have been receiving intravenous fluids for seven half months. At night, they suddenly coughed up phlegm. Have you seen any improvement? Will there be any risks? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
After 1 week of treatment for infant pneumonia, coughing reappeared and gradually worsened, which is most likely a recurrence of a cold. Bacterial and viral pneumonia are the most common types. The principle of pneumonia treatment is to use anti-inflammatory drugs to completely eliminate the pathogen, with early treatment. Foot therapy can be determined based on the condition. Symptomatic treatment should also be administered, such as taking fever-reducing medication when fever occurs or providing expectorant and cough-relieving drugs when coughing. It is recommended to seek hospitalization for timely treatment. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
