What is the most effective way to treat pneumonia in children?

Now that we have entered autumn, pneumonia in children is becoming more and more frequent, so the treatment of pneumonia in children should also be determined according to the condition. So what are the methods for treating pneumonia in children? Let's take a look at the treatment methods for pneumonia in children. I hope it will be helpful to parents.

During the treatment of pediatric pneumonia, attention should be paid to keeping the environment quiet and clean, ensuring that the child is well rested, and avoiding frequent turning of the child. It is advisable to sleep in the side position so that the blood circulation at the bottom of the lungs is not affected, which is conducive to the recovery of pneumonia.

The room should be ventilated frequently, and a certain temperature (around 20°C) and humidity (preferably 60 percent) should be maintained. Try to ensure sufficient liquid food such as milk, rice soup, rice porridge, egg custard, vegetable juice, fruit juice, etc.

Don't be too hasty when feeding water or medicine. If the phlegm enters the trachea, it may aggravate pneumonia at the least and suffocate at the worst. You can pat the child's back with your palm regularly to help loosen the secretions stuck in the trachea and discharge them. Of course, most children will not spit and will swallow it, which is fine.

Children with pneumonia often have diarrhea. When the diarrhea is heavy, attention should be paid to diet adjustment. Fruit juice and vegetable water should not be given. Rice soup and other foods that are easier to digest and absorb can be added in moderation. This is very helpful for the treatment of pneumonia in children.

Generally, if the sputum is thick and difficult to cough up, oral medication can be used. If the sputum is thick and the cough is severe, nebulization can be used for inhalation, and intramuscular or intravenous injection can be used for severe cough. This is also one of the treatments for pneumonia in children.

Pay attention to nutrition and water supply; breastfeed as much as possible. If bottle-feeding is necessary, 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 can 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. This is also a treatment measure for pediatric pneumonia.

If the child has convulsions, enema should be given immediately. If it is ineffective, intramuscular or intravenous injection of diazepam should be used instead. This treatment of pediatric pneumonia is relatively effective.

The above information is all about the treatment of pediatric pneumonia. I hope everyone can pay attention to the treatment of pediatric pneumonia and hope these methods will be helpful to everyone. It is very important to detect the disease as early as possible and then carry out a series of pediatric pneumonia treatments. Here I wish you a speedy recovery.
