The harm of persistent high fever in children with pneumonia

Parents and friends all have a certain understanding of the disease of neonatal pneumonia. After the onset of the disease, the lungs will show symptoms of varying degrees, posing a huge threat to the child and seriously affecting health. When the disease occurs, it will bring a lot of harm. Many parents do not understand this. Let us learn about the harm of high fever in children with pneumonia.

Regardless of the type of neonatal pneumonia, severe cases are always dangerous.

For example, in the case of infectious pneumonia, large areas of the lungs may be infected, and even abscesses and necrosis may form, seriously affecting the child's respiratory function. The bacteria may also spread throughout the body and cause more serious complications such as sepsis and meningitis.

Neonatal pneumonia should be diagnosed early, treated early, and treated actively to curb the progression of the disease. Most neonatal pneumonia can be completely cured through active and effective treatment, without any sequelae, and will not recur. However, severe pneumonia is combined with infection or damage to other organs in the body. If it is damage to the nervous system, there is a possibility of sequelae.

Most neonatal pneumonia requires hospitalization. Doctors will take different treatments for different causes. Generally, the hospitalization period is 1-2 weeks. When the symptoms of pneumonia disappear, the child can breastfeed normally, and other laboratory tests return to normal, the child can be discharged from the hospital.

When the child is discharged from the hospital, the family should understand in detail the child's condition during hospitalization. In addition to the treatment and recovery process of the disease, they also need to understand the child's breastfeeding situation, how many times a day the child feeds in the hospital, how much each time, how often the child feeds, whether any medications need to be taken after discharge, whether a follow-up examination is needed, etc.

After being discharged from the hospital, children have a process of gradually adapting to the new environment. Some children may experience sleep disturbance, crying, or not adapting to the change of milk, eating less milk, etc. Family members should care and feed them patiently and carefully. If you have any questions, you can consult the doctor in charge during the hospitalization.

Through understanding the above content, we know the harms that neonatal pneumonia will bring. Knowing the harms, we must pay attention to the disease and not take it lightly. We should give more care and love to the newborns. We should pay attention to details in life and do everything without omissions, so as to ensure the health of the child.
