What medications should children with adenovirus pneumonia take?

Patient's question:

My child has been experiencing coughing and fever multiple times since school yesterday. At that time, the fever was as high as 39 degrees, and we were very worried about taking him to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor diagnosed him with pediatric adenovirus pneumonia. I would like to ask what medicine is effective for pediatric adenovirus pneumonia?

Doctor's answer:

If the hospital carefully examines and diagnoses that the patient already has a viral infection, this situation is generally advised to use some antiviral medications, in addition to many lung-cleaning, blood-cooling, and symptom-relieving drugs for treatment. Repeated fever is a characteristic of viral infection, and it is important to pay close attention to the changes in body temperature. If the child's condition has been diagnosed as pneumonia, I personally recommend hospitalization for treatment, ensuring the child drinks plenty of fluids, maintains a light diet, and takes care to prevent colds.
