Patient's question:
Because my son has already received intravenous drips for three days in the hospital, but the symptoms of his cough have not improved. So, we had a thorough check-up for him at the hospital, which revealed that my son had lobar pneumonia. Is pediatric lobar pneumonia serious?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described and the symptoms, pediatric lobar pneumonia is a relatively common respiratory disease. Generally, the area affected by inflammation is relatively large, and the condition is relatively severe, with a relatively longer treatment course. It is recommended that you should receive formal treatment and follow medical advice for appropriate anti-inflammatory therapy. Pay attention to properly supplement nutrition and fluids. The room should be frequently and regularly ventilated to ensure air circulation, which will help in the recovery of the condition.
