How to effectively treat pneumonia in children

Many people have just become new fathers and mothers, and may not understand some children's diseases, such as neonatal pneumonia. Parents should have a detailed understanding of this. Neonatal pneumonia is an infectious disease. The following is a detailed introduction to pediatric pneumonia and some treatment methods.

1. Identify the disease

The main clinical manifestations of this disease are fever, less crying, no milk, cough, shortness of breath, mental depression, cyanosis, etc., which can be classified as "milk cough" and "milk cough" in traditional Chinese medicine. The cause is mostly due to congenital deficiency, infection during pregnancy or delivery, or infection with pathogenic heat. The key to the pathogenesis is that the pathogenic toxins invade the lungs and phlegm and heat are blocked; the disease is located in the lungs, which are most closely related to the heart, stomach, and intestines.

2. Diagnostic Criteria

1. Poor overall reaction, slow reaction, weakness, poor feeding, etc.

2. The following symptoms exist: ① Cyanosis around the mouth or foaming at the mouth; ② Continuous increase in breathing rate when at rest, >60 times/min; ⑧ Nodding breathing or three-depression sign; ④ History of amniotic fluid aspiration or repeated choking on milk.

3. Western medicine treatment

1. General treatment: Keep warm, pay attention to turning over, patting the back and postural drainage, and suction sputum in time; provide adequate nutrition, and appropriately limit fluid. Provide oxygen as appropriate, preferably until the cyanosis disappears, and ultrasonic atomization inhalation when necessary; critically ill children can receive small amounts of blood or plasma transfusions multiple times.

2. Antibiotic treatment For children with pneumonia, throat swab bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test should be performed so that targeted medication can be used. Before the pathogen is identified, broad-spectrum antibiotics or a combination of two antibiotics can be used, commonly penicillin, ampicillin, aminoglycosides or cephalosporins.

Neonatal pneumonia is a relatively harmful disease. If the child does not receive timely medical treatment, it may affect the normal activity of the child's lungs, thereby endangering the child's health. Therefore, when a child suffers from neonatal pneumonia, he should be actively taken to treatment.
