What are the symptoms of pneumonia in children? Two methods of caring for children with pneumonia

Pneumonia in children is a common disease. It is reported that most children with pneumonia are caused by worsening colds. So, what are the symptoms of pneumonia in children? How should parents take care of children with pneumonia? Common symptoms of pneumonia in children 1. Fever Most children have fever symptoms when they suffer from pneumonia, and their body temperature is mostly above 38°C and lasts for two or three days. Antipyretics can only temporarily reduce the body temperature for a period of time and will rise soon. Although children with colds will also have fever, most of the body temperatures are below 38°C and the duration is short, and antipyretics are effective. But at the same time, we should also be wary of pneumonia in children without fever. The body temperature of infants with pneumonia may be very high, but they may not have a fever, or even be lower than normal. The length of fever cannot be used as a basis for judging pneumonia. Some infants develop pneumonia after only two days of fever, while some infants have a fever for a week that is not caused by pneumonia. Therefore, it is not possible to judge whether a child has pneumonia only from fever, and it is necessary to combine several other aspects to judge. Cough and breathing to judge whether a child has pneumonia depends on whether the child has cough, asthma and dyspnea. Coughs and asthma caused by colds and bronchitis are mostly paroxysmal, and generally there is no dyspnea. If the cough and asthma are severe, the respiratory rate will increase when at rest.
