Why should children with pneumonia receive intravenous infusion?

Regarding pneumonia, many mothers still think it is just a common cold or that it is similar to adult pneumonia, which leads to low compliance with the medication method, drug selection, and medication time, which directly leads to slow recovery or recurrence of the disease in some children; some parents are overly nervous and don’t know how to take care of their children, and rely too much on doctors...

Why do children with pneumonia generally need intravenous infusion?

Children's immune function is not yet fully developed, and their local respiratory immunity is significantly weaker than that of adults. Therefore, compared with adults, children's pneumonia changes faster and is more dangerous, so treatment requires more aggressiveness.

Most people choose infusion because the absorption rate of intravenous infusion drugs is 100%, which can kill bacteria faster and better, and at the same time can replenish water, glucose and electrolytes to make up for the lack of nutrient intake due to decreased appetite during pneumonia in children. Therefore, in order to avoid a series of serious consequences caused by the failure to effectively control pneumonia, pediatric pneumonia is generally treated with infusion as appropriate.
