What medications are effective for pediatric adenovirus pneumonia?

Patient's question:

My child has been experiencing coughing and fever symptoms again since yesterday after school. At that time, the fever was as high as 39 degrees, and we were very worried, so we took him to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor told us it was pediatric adenovirus pneumonia. I would like to ask what medicine is good for pediatric adenovirus pneumonia?

Doctor's answer:

If the child's condition has been diagnosed as pneumonia, this situation is generally recommended to use many antiviral drugs. For adenovirus pneumonia, ribavirin is used for treatment, with poor nasal drops effect; switching to intravenous and/or intramuscular injection is more effective in early cases compared to the control group, while it shows no significant effect in late cases; the trial of inhalation treatment is still pending. In addition to many lung-cleaning, blood-cooling, and symptomatic drugs for treatment. Pay attention to giving the child more water to drink, a light diet, and take care to prevent colds. Eat more fresh, colorful fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, or digest many vitamin preparations or colostrum worth over 2,000 yuan, which can also effectively increase the child's resistance.
