Treating pneumonia in children requires the right method

The air quality has been very poor in recent years. In our daily lives, many children have suffered from severe pediatric pneumonia. Neonatal pneumonia is a very serious respiratory disease. If we want to alleviate our disease, what should we do? Now let our experts help everyone understand the knowledge about neonatal pneumonia.

1. Give your baby plenty of fluids to keep him hydrated. If your baby is still breastfeeding, feed him whenever he wants to eat.

2. You can slightly raise the head of the baby's bed, or let the baby sleep in an infant car safety seat. Raising the baby's head can make it easier for the baby to breathe when the nose is blocked.

3. Drop a little saline solution into your baby's nose to soften the mucus in the nose, and then use a nasal aspirator to suck out the mucus in the nose. You can also make your own saline solution by dissolving a teaspoon of salt in a glass of water.

4. Use a humidifier in your baby's room to keep your baby's nasal passages moist so that they can breathe more easily. But make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions to keep the humidifier clean. When the machine gets dirty, it may spread germs through the mist.

5. Try to keep your baby away from cigarette smoke, fresh paint, burning materials, and irritating fumes, which can make it more difficult for your baby to breathe. The smell of cigarettes can cause your baby to have a more serious recurrence of RSV or other respiratory viral infections.

6. Ask your doctor before giving your baby acetaminophen (also called paracetamol) to relieve discomfort caused by a fever. Do not give your baby over-the-counter cold medicines without your doctor's approval. The side effects of some congestion relief medicines may be harmful to very young babies.

I believe that parents are very concerned about the treatment of neonatal pneumonia. If we want our children to appear in front of our eyes alive and kicking, our parents must find a treatment method suitable for their children's disease. In addition to Western medicine, there are many Chinese medicine treatment methods, and there are also many effective folk remedies.
