How to cure pneumonia in children

Neonatal pneumonia is a very common disease. The incidence rate among newborns is extremely high, which brings harm to many newborns. Therefore, as parents, we must understand the treatment measures for neonatal pneumonia, which can help us deal with the disease. So what are the methods to cure pediatric pneumonia?

1. The room temperature should be kept at around 20℃ and relative humidity to prevent respiratory secretions from drying up and becoming difficult to cough out. Prevent cross infection.

2. Pay attention to nutrition and water supply; breastfeeding should be done as much as possible. If bottle-feeding is used, the amount and concentration of milk can be determined according to the digestive function and condition of the child. If the child has diarrhea, skim milk should be given. For infants or children, a light, easily digestible diet rich in multiple vitamins should be provided. Children in the recovery period should be given nutritious, high-calorie food. For critically ill children who cannot eat, intravenous infusion should be given to supplement calories and water.

3. Keep the respiratory tract unobstructed: Remove nasal crusts, nasal secretions and respiratory tract sputum in time. Improve ventilation function, increase alveolar ventilation, correct hypoxia, and reduce CO2 retention. For those with a lot of thin sputum, you can repeatedly turn over and pat your back to facilitate the discharge of sputum. You can also take ammonium chloride mixture, an expectorant drug, orally. For those with thick sputum that is difficult to cough up, suction the sputum or use ultrasonic atomization for inhalation.

To sum up, parents and friends have a clear understanding of the treatment measures for neonatal pneumonia. We must care about the health of newborns and not let the occurrence of neonatal pneumonia affect the children. To this end, we need to do some preventive work, pay more attention to the hygiene of newborns, and pay attention to their living environment.
