What is the recovery period for infant pneumonia?

Nowadays, every child is the treasure of the family, so the health of the child has become the most concerning issue for parents. However, recently many parents have reported that their children have pneumonia, but they don’t know what to pay attention to during the recovery period of pneumonia. So today we will introduce to you what parents should do during their baby’s pneumonia recovery period. What should we do when we encounter this situation?

Nursing involves many aspects, including the following:

1. Closely observe the baby's body temperature changes, mental state, and breathing conditions.

2. The indoor air should be fresh. Too much stuffiness or heat is very harmful to children with pneumonia. It can aggravate the cough, thicken the sputum, and make breathing more difficult. The indoor humidity should also be appropriate. A basin of water should be placed on the stove and water should be sprinkled on the ground frequently to prevent the indoor air from being too dry.

3. Newborns with pneumonia are often unwilling to breastfeed, so they should be given enough fluid and calories. In addition to breastfeeding, they can also be given glucose solution.

4. Children lose a lot of water due to fever, sweating and rapid breathing, so they should be fed more water, which can also moisten the throat, thin the thick phlegm and keep the respiratory tract unobstructed.

5. Since breastfeeding can aggravate wheezing, do not feed with a bottle, use a spoon instead.

6. Pay attention to whether there are dry scabs in the baby's nasal cavity. If there are, you can use a cotton swab dipped in water to gently remove them to solve the breathing problems caused by nasal obstruction.

Most children can be cured of pneumonia after effective antibiotics and symptomatic treatment. However, many children still have persistent coughs and lung rales during the recovery period of pneumonia, and they also have loss of appetite and poor spirits. At this time, the effect of antibiotic treatment is not obvious. Every time this happens, the doctor has no good solution and prescribes a bunch of oral medicines for the patient to go home and wait for self-healing. Children, especially infants, have weak constitutions and poor disease resistance, and take a long time to recover. The above symptoms do not completely disappear after a long time. If they catch a cold again during this period, the condition will worsen again. Currently, the best way to treat the recovery period of tracheitis and pneumonia is to use traditional Chinese medicine to replenish qi and strengthen the spleen, clear the lungs, resolve phlegm and relieve cough, supplemented by taking a small amount of antibiotics. Traditional Chinese medicine: Children's Qingfei oral liquid, Qingxuan cough syrup, Children's Xiaoji cough oral liquid, etc. Due to the particularity of children's medication, you can also apply the Chinese medicine external treatment plasters with good effects such as "Baicao Qiongjiang Yiqi Patch" and "Sanjiu Patch" at the same time. Decoction pieces: Prescriptions based on "Dangshen, Baizhu, Tangerine Peel, Platycodon, Citrus aurantium, Fritillaria cirrhosa, etc.". Antibiotics: Choose one of Xikeluo, Azithromycin, Amoxicillin, etc. for auxiliary combination. The above method can achieve good recovery in the recovery period of tracheitis and pneumonia in children.

The above is what professionals have introduced to us about what to pay attention to and the treatment methods during the recovery period of infant pneumonia. Therefore, parents should always pay attention to their children’s physical condition. If they encounter any illness, they should go to the hospital for treatment immediately, and be sure to be careful not to give their children blind medication. I hope the above content can help you.
