The difference between infant pneumonia with sputum and without sputum

Generally speaking, the main difference between infant pneumonia with sputum and without sputum is the different symptoms and treatment methods.

1. Symptoms: If the baby has pneumonia and coughs up yellow-green or rusty sticky purulent secretions, it indicates a purulent bacterial infection. If there are no obvious clinical manifestations or only mild fever and dyspnea, then it is considered to be pneumonia caused by a viral infection. In daily life, parents should pay attention to whether the baby's mental state is good. If the baby is listless, he needs to seek medical attention in time;

2. Treatment methods: If the pneumonia is caused by bacterial infection, you can follow the doctor's advice to use drugs such as amoxicillin granules to relieve the condition; if it is caused by a virus, you can choose antiviral drugs such as ribavirin granules for treatment. In addition, you should pay more attention to rest during the illness, avoid overwork or staying up late, so as not to affect your body's recovery.

It is recommended that parents should keep their children warm, add or remove clothes according to the weather, and keep the indoor air circulating by opening windows regularly for ventilation. In terms of diet, try to eat light and easily digestible food, such as millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, etc. You can also eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement the nutrients needed by the body.
