Patient's question:
The child's body discomfort reappeared with pneumonia, but the body did not reappear with fever. The doctor suggested implementing intravenous infusion. I'm not very understanding. Even without inflammation and fever, do you still need to receive intravenous infusion?Doctor's answer:
Children with pneumonia do not necessarily need intravenous fluids. If the pneumonia is mild, oral anti-inflammatory drugs, inhalation, and other symptomatic treatments can be used, along with general treatment and care. The general treatment method involves maintaining proper indoor air circulation at an appropriate temperature and humidity, then providing the child with a nutritious diet. Frequently change his body position, gently pat his back to promote exercise, pay attention to keeping him away from sick parents, and must pay attention to isolation to prevent cross-infection. Pay attention to digestive water and electrolyte disorders, do not let the child dehydrate. Digestive fluids help moisten the airways. Intravenous fluids may not be necessary; many children will recover.
