Symptoms of pneumonia in February infants?
A look at children with fever pneumonia when most have fever symptoms, body temperature more than 38 ℃, lasting two or three days. Although the baby cold will also have fever, but most of the body temperature is below 38 ℃, the duration is short, and the effect of antipyretic drugs is also obvious. But at the same time, we should also be alert to children with pneumonia without fever. The temperature of the baby with pneumonia may be very high, but it may not have fever, or even lower than normal. The duration of fever can not be used as a basis for judging pneumonia. Some baby fever only two days has developed into pneumonia, and some baby fever a week is not caused by pneumonia. Therefore, it is impossible to judge whether the child has pneumonia from fever, but it needs to be combined with other aspects.
Second, to see whether the cough and breathing difficulties, to determine whether the baby is suffering from pneumonia also need to see whether the baby has cough, asthma and breathing difficulties. Cough and asthma caused by cold and bronchitis are paroxysmal, and dyspnea generally does not occur. If the cough and asthma are serious, the respiratory rate increases at rest (i.e. the respiratory rate of infants less than 2 months old is more than or equal to 60 times / min; Infants aged 2-12 months ≥ 50 times / min; 1-5-year-old children ≥ 40 times / min), one by one on both sides of the nose, lips blue or purple, once the above symptoms appear, it indicates that the condition is serious, can not be delayed.
If there is no fever in patients with non febrile pneumonia, they should seek medical examination immediately once they have cough and sputum. Generally speaking, doctors judge the condition by the degree of fever, chest and lung examination and X-ray examination. Therefore, parents should carefully observe the child's general state, including spirit, mood, breathing, cough, and then tell the doctor in detail. The symptoms of high fever and severe cough can be relieved within 1-10 days. As for lung inflammation, it takes a long time to recover.
