What tests are needed to confirm pneumonia in children? Can serum tests be used to rule out pneumonia in children as early as possible?

Children are actually a very weak and sickly group. Children often catch colds and fevers, which often lead to pneumonia. Blinking is actually not a very serious disease, but it is very common and is mainly caused by pathogen infection. In addition, fever and cough often occur clinically, and some symptoms of dyspnea also often occur, so if we usually must do a check-up.

Serological examination can help us get pneumonia as soon as possible, mainly through routine blood tests. Since the occurrence of bacterial pneumonia often increases the total white blood cell count, we can use serum tests to determine whether we have pediatric pneumonia. For patients with pediatric pneumonia, special attention must be paid to maintaining air circulation in the space, the room temperature cannot be too low, and the indoor humidity must be guaranteed. During this period, patients should eat more easily digestible foods, and it is best to control inflammation and avoid complications.

1. Special attention must be paid to children with pneumonia. We usually use antibiotics that are sensitive to pathogens to treat patients. Usually, macrolide drugs or ribavirin plus I can be used for treatment. For patients with hypoxia, oxygen should be inhaled in time.

2. Children with pneumonia need routine blood tests. Routine blood tests mainly check whether the total number of white blood cells, neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, etc. is abnormal. If a child has bacterial pneumonia, the child's white blood cells and neutrophils will be too high. If a child has viral pneumonia, the phenomenon will be too low.

3. X-ray examination is also very important. This examination can promptly detect whether the child’s lungs are diseased, and can also promptly analyze the type of disease in the child. Because various types of pneumonia will have different images after X-ray, experts will analyze the X-ray and give the child the best treatment.

4. Sputum culture test is also necessary. Such test can let parents know in time what bacteria causes their children to have pneumonia, so that experts can choose the correct medicine to treat their children. It is recommended that parents understand the examination methods of this disease and then go to a regular hospital to treat their children.

From a medical point of view, pneumonia actually refers to the inflammation of the human lungs. Pneumonia has many causes, and it may be caused by a viral infection. However, no matter what the cause, pneumonia is extremely harmful to the human respiratory system. Through research and statistics on some pediatric pneumonia patients, it was found that the clinical manifestations of the vast majority of pediatric pneumonia patients are mainly fever, cough, shortness of breath, dyspnea, lung rales, etc. Children with pediatric pneumonia may also have other symptoms. The first is coughing. When children cough violently, they may vomit, choke on milk, and other symptoms. In addition, there are patients with nasal agitation. Some children may have mild cyanosis in the mouth and around the nails.
