Pneumonia occurs when we fail to prevent it. How should we treat pneumonia? Is pneumonia difficult to treat as others say? Is it very complicated to treat pneumonia? I believe that this series of questions are also questions in everyone's mind. In fact, pneumonia is a common disease in our daily life. In fact, there are many practical methods to treat pneumonia. Let me introduce some methods of treating pneumonia. 1. Antipyretic: In the treatment of pneumonia, physical cooling or antipyretic drugs should be used when high fever occurs. 2. Sedation: For the treatment of pneumonia with irritability or convulsion symptoms, sedatives can be given, commonly used are phenobarbital sodium, promethazine, chlorpromazine or diazepam. 3. Clear the respiratory tract: Clear oral and nasal secretions and suction sputum promptly, pay attention to turning over, patting the back and postural drainage. You can use relevant drugs such as nebulization inhalation as appropriate, but cough suppressants should not be used. 4. Oxygen therapy: Oxygen inhalation is given to patients with severe conditions and obvious breathing difficulties. Oxygen is usually given through a nasal vestibular catheter. If respiratory failure occurs, mechanical ventilation with positive pressure oxygen should be used. 5. Treatment of heart failure: In addition to oxygen, sedation and rest, cardiotonic drugs are often used, and diuretics and vasodilators can be added when necessary. 6. Anti-pathogen treatment: also known as "curing the root cause", this is the most important, and special attention should be paid to the correct and reasonable use of antibiotics. 7. Systemic supportive therapy: including adequate intake of calories, nutrition, and protein to maintain the balance of water and electrolytes in the body. 8. Symptomatic treatment: adequate rest, oxygen inhalation, expectoration, fever reduction, etc. The treatment of pneumonia mainly requires attention to the above eight symptoms. I believe that these simple introductions will give you a deeper understanding of the treatment methods for pneumonia, and I hope it will be helpful to you. In daily life, you should always pay attention to your physical health and pay attention to the prevention and treatment of pneumonia. |
