Should children with pneumonia be hospitalized?

Whether children with pneumonia need hospitalization should be determined based on the severity of the disease. If the disease is mild, hospitalization is usually not required, but if the disease is severe, hospitalization is required.

Hospitalization requirements for pneumonia in children:

Pediatric pneumonia is usually caused by lung inflammation after infection with bacteria or viruses. It is the most common respiratory disease in children, with clinical manifestations such as cough, fever, sputum, chest tightness and other symptoms. If the lung inflammation caused by the infection of pathogenic bacteria in children is mild, with only mild cough, chest tightness and other discomfort symptoms, you can cooperate with the doctor to take symptomatic drugs for treatment, and it can achieve better treatment effects, and usually no hospitalization is required. However, if the child's pneumonia is more serious, with persistent high fever, sputum, chest pain, mental depression and other symptoms, taking drugs alone may not achieve the ideal treatment effect, and you need to cooperate with the doctor for hospitalization in time. After hospitalization, you can cooperate with medical staff for intravenous drips, such as intravenous infusion of azithromycin injection, cefuroxime sodium injection, etc.

Things to note for children with pneumonia:

During the treatment, care should be taken to keep the room ventilated and clean to avoid cross infection. In addition, the care and nutrition of children should be strengthened to help enhance the body's resistance and promote recovery.
