Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination suggested a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. Please ask about pediatric lobar pneumonia.Doctor's answer:
Treatment for children's lobar pneumonia requires hospitalization, along with the use of sensitive antibiotics for intravenous treatment. Our most sensitive antibiotics are generally penicillin-class antibiotics or cephalosporin antibiotics. Generally, treatment needs to last seven to ten days, while severe cases may require 14 days to fully recover. During the treatment period, it is necessary to feed the child some nutritious foods, foods rich in vitamin C, which can promote recovery and complement the use of expectorant and cough-suppressant medications.
