Patient's question:
Grandpa carefully checked and found bronchopneumonia. The family didn't know and didn't need it. Do you think bronchopneumonia needs to be hospitalized?Doctor's answer:
Currently, the patient is elderly, and their resistance may have improved. If the hospital conducts a thorough examination and confirms it is pneumonia, it is better to hospitalize and receive intravenous treatment. In terms of medication, it is recommended to use many anti-inflammatory drugs, in addition to symptomatic medications for treatment. During this period, the patient should pay attention to rest, avoid catching a cold, and refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol. The diet should be light, with more rice porridge, meat soup, dumplings, and wontons. After recovery, it is best to drink plenty of plain water and less beverages, aiming for a balanced nutrition. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as overly sour or salty foods. Those with a history of allergies should avoid seafood, allergenic foods, and other irritants. Always maintain fresh air in the living space to prevent the influence of physical and chemical factors such as smoke, odors, and grease, and to prevent colds and enhance cold resistance.
