There are many pneumonia patients in life. People should pay attention to the occurrence of pneumonia and detect pneumonia early. People should pay attention to the symptoms of pneumonia to avoid serious harm caused by pneumonia. So, how do we diagnose pneumonia in children? According to the Acute Respiratory Infection Control Program (ARI) for children developed by the World Health Organization, neonatal pneumonia is defined as follows: when infants under two months old breathe more than or equal to 60 times per minute in a quiet state, it can be considered as tachypnea; if the number of breaths per minute is greater than (or equal to) 60 times for two consecutive minutes, it can be determined that the infant has tachypnea; when infants under two months old inhale, the lower end of the chest wall can be seen to be obviously concave inward. This is called chest concavity. This is because when a child has pneumonia, he or she needs to breathe in harder than usual to complete gas exchange. If a newborn has both increased breathing and obvious chest indentation, it can be diagnosed as severe pneumonia and must be hospitalized. Environment is particularly important for both adults and children. So make sure your home is well ventilated. Make sure the air in your home is circulating. When feeding, be careful not to let your baby eat too fast or too quickly to avoid choking or spilling milk. After feeding, gently pat the baby's back to let him burp and exhaust gas. At the same time, pay attention to the insulation and ventilation of the room. |
