Patient's question:
My little baby is three months old and has always been very energetic, able to play for a long time every day. But today, something is wrong. He's lethargic and doesn't want to eat, and he always has a slightly elevated temperature, but no coughing or runny nose. When I took him to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was pneumonia. Pneumonia with fever but no cough? How can I confirm that the symptoms are pneumonia?Doctor's answer:
If the child reappears with persistent high fever or continuous fever decline. Second, coughing is severe with a deep sound originating from the lungs. Special attention is needed: children under one year old may not necessarily have a fever or cough. Sometimes, symptoms like poor complexion and poor appetite may appear, and if it spreads to the lungs, it can lead to heart damage and even life-threatening conditions. As parents, it is important to pay attention to the child's lungs, but there is no need to be overly anxious. If we can identify lung issues early and ensure the child receives timely and appropriate treatment and care, most cases of pediatric pneumonia can be cured.
