Patient's question:
My child was born second, and at the time of his birth, my constitution was not very good. So the child had lung problems from birth. The doctor said that his condition was not too severe and that he could first take some cephalosporin. But it didn't work. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Pneumonia in children refers to the inflammation of the lungs caused by bacterial infection, viral infection, and other related factors. The main symptoms include cough, difficulty breathing, and other manifestations. Percussion can detect bubbly sounds in the lungs, and chest X-ray examination shows signs of lung inflammation. Treatment primarily involves controlling the spread of the infection and providing symptomatic treatment. Cefixime is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections in children at this age. Each child should take one packet at a time. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
