What should be paid attention to in the diet of children with pneumonia

Young children are prone to becoming uncomfortable in unfamiliar environments, which may lead to pneumonia. Since young children's organs are not fully developed, they may suffer from respiratory infections. Since young children are not easy to take medication, pneumonia may occur over time. In daily life, parents must pay attention to whether the baby is healthy. If you feel that the baby is different from usual, you must take the baby's temperature first and pay attention to the baby's diet. Here I will introduce to you the things you need to pay attention to in the diet of young children with pneumonia.

Due to high fever and rapid breathing, children consume much more water, so attention should be paid to ensuring adequate fluid intake (including milk, boiled water, sugar water, rice soup, vegetable juice and fruit juice, etc.). After the fever subsides, the child should be given semi-liquid food such as porridge, noodles, and egg custard, and the amount should be increased as the condition improves to ensure adequate nutrition.

The nursing environment for pneumonia patients should be quiet, clean and comfortable. The room should be ventilated frequently and the necessary air humidity should be maintained. Generally, the relative humidity should be around 55%, and a humidifier can be used. Cold air therapy can also be used for the child. The method is to wrap the child tightly with a quilt, put on a hat, leaving only the face exposed, turn on the air conditioner or window, or take the child to a cold room. The temperature should generally be between 5℃ and 10℃, and not lower than -5℃. After 5 to 10 minutes, the irritable child often falls asleep quietly, breathes evenly, and his face turns red. This can be extended to half to one hour, 2 to 3 times a day. If the wheezing and cramping do not improve, oxygen therapy may be required.

After seeing the above situation, parents need to pay attention to their children's health and prevent their babies from getting pneumonia. Pneumonia is basically caused by fever or respiratory tract infection. When the baby is sleeping, you must ensure that the room temperature where the baby sleeps is not too humid or too dry, otherwise it will cause discomfort in the baby's throat and breathing problems. If your baby has pneumonia, you must pay attention to his diet.
