How to treat pneumonia in children quickly

In life, when a child suffers from neonatal pneumonia, parents will be particularly worried. The disease brings great harm to the child. We must do a good job of prevention, so as to reduce the occurrence of the disease. Let us learn about how to treat pediatric pneumonia quickly, hoping to help everyone:

1. General treatment

Keep the respiratory tract open: clear the inhaled material as soon as possible, suck out the oropharyngeal and nasal secretions, and turn over and pat the back regularly to facilitate the discharge of sputum.

2. Antibiotics

(1) Staphylococcus aureus infection: first-generation cephalosporins, enzyme-resistant penicillin or ampicillin (ampicillin) can be used.

(2) Group B hemolytic streptococcal pneumonia: It can be treated with ampicillin and penicillin for 3 days, and then switched to high-dose penicillin for a course of 10 to 14 days.

(3) Gram-negative bacteria: For Pseudomonas aeruginosa, severe cases or those resistant to general antibiotics, third-generation cephalosporins can be used; for Enterobacterial pneumonia, amikacin (amikacin) and ampicillin can be used.

3. Oxygen supply

For patients with severe complications of respiratory failure, continuous positive airway pressure or mechanical ventilation after endotracheal intubation can be used.

4. Symptomatic treatment

Symptomatic treatment should be provided according to the specific symptoms. For example, those who are irritable or have convulsions should be promptly calmed and spasms should be stopped. Those whose body temperature does not rise should be kept warm.

Through the above article, we already know very clearly what the treatment options are for neonatal pneumonia. We must pay attention to it in our lives and not underestimate the harm of the disease. If we find that our child has the disease, we must not delay taking the child for treatment and strengthen care.
