Recurrent infantile pneumonia

summary

Fever, cough, rapid breathing, dyspnea, moist rales in the lungs, and abnormal changes in chest X-ray are typical "characteristics" of pneumonia. In autumn and winter, children's respiratory diseases prevail. Although pneumonia is rare in children, some special children are always troubled by pneumonia and attack again and again. I'll tell you again and again about infant pneumonia.

Recurrent infantile pneumonia

First: as long as the cough more than 3-4 days, high fever above 39 ℃, we should consider the possibility of pneumonia. For children with a long cough time, it is recommended to take chest X-ray examination for differential diagnosis. If the diagnosis is pneumonia, whether oral or injection of antibiotics, should use foot therapy, so as to avoid treatment is not complete and lead to repeated attacks.

Second: in autumn and winter, respiratory diseases such as colds and coughs have become children's "routine". According to LAN hekui, director of Pediatrics of Zhujiang Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University, respiratory diseases account for 60% - 70% of outpatient services, and 10% - 20% of them are children with pneumonia.

Third: "BB started with a cold and some coughs, so she took her to the community hospital. The doctor diagnosed her with bronchitis. After taking the medicine for two days, she still coughed. At this time, I was worried, so I took my child to several hospitals, and the child's condition remained unchanged. Who knows a week later, after going to the hospital to take a chest film, he was diagnosed with pneumonia. Now he has been given a suspension needle for nearly 10 days. Looking at the child becoming thinner and thinner, I don't know how uncomfortable it is. How can a cold become pneumonia? "This online message aroused many mothers' resonance.

matters needing attention

Many parents are very confused, the baby started just a cold, how after a few days became pneumonia? According to director Lan's experience, children cough more than 3-4 days, high fever above 39 ℃, often have to consider pneumonia. After catching a cold, parents are most worried about their children's cough. Therefore, some parents think that as long as their children don't cough, doctors should "stop coughing". In fact, when children cough for a long time, it's best to take a chest X-ray to make a differential diagnosis of pneumonia. When the respiratory tract infection phlegm, should be mainly expectorant, otherwise when the child's lung secretion excretion is not smooth, virus, bacteria, mycoplasma, etc. is completely possible "from top to bottom" into pneumonia.
