How does child cough become pneumonia to do

First: pay attention to reasonable nutrition and supplement enough water. Pneumonia children are often accompanied by high fever, poor appetite, do not want to eat, so the diet should be light, easy to digest, while ensuring a certain quality of protein. Patients with fever should be given liquid diet (such as human milk, cow's milk, rice soup, egg soup, beef soup, vegetable soup, fruit juice, etc.), and semi liquid food (such as porridge, noodles, cakes, etc.) can be added after fever abatement. Because the evaporation of water in children with pneumonia is more than usual, appropriate amount of sugar and salt water must be added.

Second: strengthen skin and oral care, especially for children with sweating, change wet clothes in time, and dry the sweat with hot towel, which is good for skin heat dissipation and resistance to bacteria. For children with excessive sputum, sputum should be coughed up as much as possible to prevent poor sputum discharge from affecting the recovery of pneumonia. If the patient's condition permits, parents should often pick up the child and gently pat on the back. Bedridden children should turn over frequently, so that sputum can be easily coughed up, which is conducive to rehabilitation.

Third: keep the respiratory tract unobstructed. When children suffer from pneumonia, the gas exchange in alveoli is limited, and there is different degrees of hypoxia in the body. If the nasal cavity is blocked or there is a large amount of sputum in the trachea and bronchus, it will affect the inhalation of air and aggravate hypoxia. Therefore, parents should timely remove nasal secretions and suction sputum for children to keep the respiratory tract unobstructed. Indoor to maintain a certain humidity, avoid dry air, conducive to expectoration.

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 make the air circulate.
