What should I do if my child has recurrent bronchial pneumonia?

Some people think that pneumonia only exists in middle-aged people, but many children also get bronchopneumonia. What should we do when children have recurrent bronchopneumonia? As a mother, of course you have to help your children get through difficult times. First of all, we need to find out why the child gets bronchopneumonia. Secondly, we need to understand how serious the child's condition is. The key is to prescribe the right medicine. According to the doctor's advice, take some relevant medicines. If it is important, go to the hospital for treatment in time.

Babies with recurrent respiratory tract infections are common in pediatric clinics. Some babies catch a cold or bronchitis once a month on average, and some babies suffer from pneumonia several times a year. This not only affects growth and development, but also brings great psychological pressure to parents. Babies with recurrent respiratory tract infections are shorter and heavier than children of the same age. Medical research in recent years has shown that recurrent respiratory infections may be caused by a lack of VA in the body. About 70% of children have serum VA levels below normal, and a small number of them have severe VA deficiency. Lack of VA can damage the tissue structure of respiratory epithelial cells, allowing viruses and bacteria to enter. It can also damage the function of immunoglobulins, reduce cellular immunity, and decrease children's resistance to disease. When your baby has repeated respiratory infections, you should take your baby to a doctor for a detailed examination of all body systems to thoroughly identify the cause of the repeated infections and take targeted treatment. In recent years, pediatrics has adopted large doses of vitamin A to treat recurrent respiratory tract infections in children, and has achieved certain results. This method can reduce the number of recurrences of the disease in children, alleviate the severity of the disease and shorten the duration of the illness. Since VA is a fat-soluble vitamin, it is easily accumulated in the body and improper supplementation can easily cause overdose poisoning. Therefore, large doses of VA supplementation must be used under the guidance of a doctor.

We also advocate providing babies with foods rich in VA in their daily diet, such as animal liver, carrots, green leafy vegetables and cream, and advocate breastfeeding, and adding weaning foods in time according to the baby's age. If your baby's repeated infections are caused by anemia, rickets, zinc deficiency, or congenital heart disease, these primary diseases must be actively treated.

According to the child's condition, first check the allergens to see if he has an allergic constitution. If he does have an allergic constitution, it can easily explain the problems of wheezing and nasal congestion. If it is an allergy, first treat the allergy first. If the effect is not good or you do not have an allergic constitution, then if you suffer from breath holding during sleep, you will need surgery to remove your tonsils and adenoids.

Most pneumonia is caused by respiratory tract infection, so when a child has repeated bronchopneumonia, do not let him get close to smokers to avoid respiratory tract infection again. Secondly, do not let him come into contact with toxic gases in life. You should be more careful about your lifestyle and diet and avoid eating foods that are irritating to the respiratory tract. Most sick children are very fragile, so as a mother, you need to provide timely encouragement and continuous positive support.
