Can pneumonia in children cause hypoxia?

Pneumonia in children is generally the most common disease in infants. It is mainly manifested by fever accompanied by cough, severe high fever, and continuous rise in body temperature, which can easily lead to hypoxia in children, because high fever can cause children to lack water, brain hypoxia, severe cough, difficulty breathing, irritability, anxiety, and constant crying. So, how is pneumonia in children caused?

1. Caused by cold:

If a child is diagnosed with pneumonia, it is usually caused by a cold. Early colds in children are accompanied by fever, cough, runny nose, weakness in the limbs, red eyes, sore throat, etc. At this time, parents cannot ignore these symptoms of their children. If they are not careful or careless, it is easy to develop pneumonia in children. Once diagnosed with pneumonia, children will also be accompanied by difficulty breathing and shortness of breath.

2. Virus infection:

Parents should usually try to take their children to crowded places for walks as little as possible, especially in spring and autumn when viral infections are everywhere, because children's own resistance is relatively weak and their immune systems are not yet fully developed. If you take your children to places with high mobility and poor air quality, it is likely to cause viral infection and cause your child to suffer from pneumonia.

3. Weak resistance:

Generally speaking, we all know that children with weak resistance often get sick every three days. Usually, they should take their children to sunny places to bask in the sun. Sunbathing and calcium supplementation can enhance children's resistance. They can let children drink warm water frequently to help urination. They can clean up the garbage in the body and eat more nutritious and healthy children's food. For example, millet porridge, white rice porridge, pumpkin porridge, and eggs can improve children's resistance.

The above are several reasons for pneumonia in children. If diagnosed with pneumonia, you must seek medical attention in time. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for your child to undergo relevant pneumonia examinations, so as not to affect the child's condition and delay the best treatment time. Usually, you must carefully observe the child's daily situation, avoid places with large traffic, drink more water, get more sun, and eat some foods that enhance resistance.
