Will the baby's pneumonia be cured after the sputum is discharged?

Generally speaking, if the baby has symptoms such as coughing and expectoration, and the symptoms gradually ease after active treatment, it means that the condition is improving. However, whether it has been cured depends on the specific situation.

1. Yes: Usually caused by respiratory tract infection, it is called pediatric bronchitis or pediatric pneumonia in clinical practice. If the above-mentioned diseases are caused by bacterial infection, such as Staphylococcus aureus infection, amoxicillin granules can be used for anti-infection treatment according to the doctor's advice;

2. No: If pediatric bronchitis or pediatric pneumonia is caused by a viral infection, symptomatic supportive treatment is required. For example, if the fever exceeds 38°C for more than 5-7 days, oral ibuprofen suspension can be used to reduce fever; if there is obvious wheezing, terbutaline sulfate nebulized inhalation solution can be used to relieve symptoms. At the same time, it is necessary to observe the mental state and respiratory condition of the child. If necessary, a chest X-ray can be performed to confirm the diagnosis. In addition, you need to drink more water to promote the body's metabolism and the excretion of toxins. The diet should be light and easily digestible. Avoid eating spicy and irritating foods to avoid aggravating the discomfort symptoms.

It is recommended that parents should pay attention to keeping warm, maintain indoor air circulation, and open windows frequently for ventilation, which will help reduce the number of pathogenic microorganisms in the air and reduce the probability of cross-infection.
