Infants 10 months get pneumonia, can I not have intravenous drip?
Many parents think that their children have pneumonia. In order to make them recover as soon as possible, they have to take the treatment of "intravenous anti-inflammatory drugs". But Qian Weizhen pointed out that not all pneumonia needs intravenous drip. Pneumonia can be divided into bacterial infection and viral infection. For mild pneumonia caused by virus infection, intravenous drip is not needed.

There are several important indexes to judge whether pneumonia is viral infection or bacterial or mycoplasma infection, that is, routine blood examination. If the total number of white blood cells, neutrophils and C-reactive protein in the report are not high, it can basically be judged that pneumonia is caused by virus infection. At this time, it is not necessary to have an intravenous drip, but only to dilate bronchi, promote ciliary movement, expel phlegm and other treatments, such as taking aminophylline, bricanyl, mepiquat and so on. If all three indexes are high, penicillin or cephalosporin can be given intravenously. If you are infected with mycoplasma, you should use erythromycin or azithromycin, and the medication must be standardized and not impatient.

Qian Weizhen also pointed out that this kind of situation is often encountered in clinic. The child was only infected with upper respiratory tract in the morning, showing signs of catching a cold, and developed into lower respiratory tract infection in the afternoon, causing pneumonia. Therefore, when children have cold symptoms, they should pay attention. Especially when the child has shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, less urine, irritability and crying, he should seek medical advice in time. In spring, the baby is often infected with respiratory virus, with severe wheezing, which is easy to lead to heart failure. Go to the hospital in time.

Pneumonia needs a certain recovery period, about 7- 14 days, so parents should follow the doctor's advice and don't have to worry too much about giving their children high-intensity treatment. Strengthen nursing, give priority to light diet, pay attention to nose cleaning and oral hygiene, and pay attention to rest; Go to crowded places less to prevent reinfection.

Wash your hands and mouthwash frequently to avoid further spread.

Many families will face such a problem. A person in the family has pneumonia. Should the patient wear a mask or should the whole family wear a mask? Qian Weizhen pointed out that the most important thing to prevent infection is to manage patients, especially children. Parents should not only give their children drugs, but also educate their children to develop the habit of washing their hands and gargling frequently to prevent the virus from spreading further through secretions such as tears, runny nose and saliva.

She also mentioned a common phenomenon that children who come to see a doctor not only have symptoms of pneumonia, but also have "red eyes". This is because I didn't pay attention to cleaning the children's towels. Many parents are used to wiping their children's faces with towels, wiping their nose and mouth and then wiping their eyes, which may easily lead to inflammation of the conjunctiva due to virus infection and "red eye". Therefore, parents are advised to pay attention to cleaning their children's towels to avoid secondary infection.
