What is the treatment for aspiration pneumonia in children?

Children are very likely to get pneumonia if they are not careful when they are young. So at this time, parents will pay special attention to their children's daily life. However, some parents don’t know that their children are also prone to pneumonia when they are breastfeeding. This is the problem of aspiration pneumonia. So what is the best way to treat children with aspiration pneumonia?

Take medicine and injections on time

Because children have poor disease resistance, especially infants, their illness is prone to recurrence. When parents find that their children are breathing rapidly, having difficulty breathing, blue areas around their lips, pale or cyanotic face, it means that the child is suffering from hypoxia and must be rescued as soon as possible.

Ensure that the child rests

If the sick child is always surrounded by many elders, relatives and friends, on the one hand, it is not conducive to the sick child's rest due to the noise from so many people, and at the same time, the carbon dioxide exhaled by people accumulates inside, and the polluted air is not conducive to the body's recovery. Therefore, there should not be too many people in the room, visitors should not stay too long, and the room should be ventilated regularly to ensure air circulation.

Strengthen skin and oral care

Especially children who sweat a lot should change wet clothes in time and wipe off the sweat with a hot towel, which is good for dissipating heat from the skin and resisting germs. For children with a lot of sputum, they should try their best to cough up the sputum to prevent the poor sputum discharge from affecting the recovery of pneumonia.

Keep your airways open

When children suffer from pneumonia, gas exchange within the alveoli is restricted and there is varying degrees of hypoxia in the body. If the nasal cavity is blocked or there is a large amount of sputum in the trachea, it will affect the inhalation of air and aggravate hypoxia. Parents should clear nasal secretions and suction sputum for their children to keep the airway open.

At this time, not only does it require timely treatment for the child, but it is also necessary to pay attention to the child's daily life care. Otherwise, the child's physical recovery will be relatively slow, and it will be detrimental to the child's future physical growth. It is possible that the child's physical fitness will gradually become poor.
