Symptoms of pneumonia in children

Due to the weak resistance of newborns, pneumonia is also very common in newborns. It is of great significance for patients with pneumonia to choose safe and effective treatments in their lives. I hope everyone can pay attention to the occurrence of pneumonia and receive treatment in time. Let's take a look at the symptoms of neonatal pneumonia:

1. Mild bronchopneumonia

1. Fever: Most cases are high.

2. Cough: It starts with frequent irritating dry coughs, followed by phlegm sounds in the throat. Coughing may be accompanied by vomiting and choking on milk.

3. Respiration is shallow and rapid, and the nose is fanning. Some children have mild cyanosis around the mouth and nails. In addition to respiratory symptoms, children may also have systemic symptoms such as mental depression, irritability, loss of appetite, shivering, and diarrhea.

2. Severe pneumonia

1. Respiratory system symptoms: shallow, rapid breathing, up to 80 times per minute, flaring of the nostrils, three-depression sign, groaning during exhalation, obvious cyanosis of the face and extremities, and even pale or grayish complexion. Dense, fine, moist rales can be heard in both lungs.

2. Circulatory system symptoms: Pneumonia in infants is often accompanied by heart failure.

4. Digestive system symptoms: Children may experience decreased appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal distension. In severe cases, the vomitus may be coffee-colored or there may be blood in the stool, bowel sounds may disappear, and they may suffer from toxic intestinal paralysis and toxic hepatitis.

5. Metabolic acidosis, respiratory acidosis, and mixed acidosis may occur.

In daily life, we should pay special attention to the care of newborns. Once the symptoms of pneumonia appear, they should be treated in time. The above is an introduction to neonatal pneumonia. I hope everyone can pay attention to it and pay attention to the health of your baby. Treating pediatric pneumonia is critical.
