How can I tell if my child has pneumonia?

I think that when the child coughs more severely and then has a fever at night, then it may be because he has pneumonia.

If the baby has fever, cough, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing, and the lungs can be heard on auscultation, a fixed crackle can be heard, which can basically be considered pneumonia. Children with pneumonia usually have frequent cough symptoms that begin as a dry cough followed by sputum. Shortness of breath usually occurs after a fever and cough, followed by rapid breathing.

Go to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor will check your child's lungs so that he can see if he has pneumonia.

We can observe the symptoms of fever in children, if the body temperature is more than 38 degrees, and the fever does not go away easily, coughing frequently, difficulty breathing, and shortness of breath, we can basically judge that you have pneumonia.

Pediatric pneumonia is generally accompanied by fever, cough and wheezing, and the initial manifestations are dry cough, irritability, malaise, depressed mood, and some will have loss of appetite, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms.

You can look at the state of the child, you can also look at some of the child's expressions and complexions, if the child often has a fever in his life, and often coughs, it means that the child has pneumonia.

After the baby has pneumonia, he coughs frequently, has a lot of phlegm, does not breathe smoothly, the nose is agitated when breathing, sometimes he has a fever, the food is not good, and he can hear rales with a stethoscope.

Determine if he has chest pain and dry cough, if he has both, it may be pneumonia.

1. Shortness of breath, increased respiratory rate, pneumonia is caused by lung infection, resulting in the alveoli originally filled with oxygen occupied by pus, oxygen is reduced, and gas exchange is difficult, so the most typical symptom of pneumonia is shortness of breath. 2. Fever and cough are violent, the initial symptoms of a cold are usually manifested as nasal symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, etc., the temperature of fever is up and down, rarely more than 39, and the cough is mostly in the evening and morning, generally from the throat. However, children with pneumonia may shiver (manifested by chills and shivering) when they have a fever, cough with a deeper sound, and cough with a flushed face or even vomiting more often.

3. The appearance of three retractions is a sign of severe pneumonia, and it should be noted that if the child has three retractions, it is likely to be severe pneumonia. The so-called three concaves are when the suprasternal fossa, supraclavicular fossa, and intercostal space are concave inward when breathing.

If the child often coughs in his life, the child will also have a fever, and he is particularly tired in life, and there is no fine rubber cover, which means that the child is indeed old and has pneumonia. You can also take your child to the hospital for a detailed examination.

See if your child is breathing smoothly and if your child coughs often.

If you see that your baby is coughing all the time, this is when you have pneumonia. The circle can be stupid to choose to observe the frequency of his cough. Or how easy it is to cough.

This can be determined by the child's medical examination report. It may be caused by respiratory diseases, it may be caused by poor air quality, it may be caused by the temperature at home is too high, it may be caused by the child's poor diet, it may be caused by some bacteria in the body.

Observe whether the child has a fever, whether he has a cough, and if he has a regular fever, there is no way to reduce the fever well, which means that the child may have pneumonia, and most of the pneumonia is caused by low immunity and bacterial infection.

Observe your baby for coughing, nasal congestion, and bubble spitting. There are many causes of pneumonia, such as respiratory infections, colds, colds, etc.

If your child is tired, has a fever and cough, and seems to be unmotivated, he may still have pneumonia.

We must take the child to the doctor, we can take a **, so that we can accurately determine whether the child has pneumonia.

If you have been suffering from this cold symptom and it has not been well for a long time, it may have been suffering from pneumonia, and you need to take your child to the hospital for examination, and the disease is very difficult to treat, so many times we are not sure.

It should be judged according to the child's physical condition, if the fever does not go away from the fever, this situation is very dangerous, and it is likely to be pneumonia.

Pediatric pneumonia usually occurs a few days after an upper respiratory tract infection and is characterized by fever, cough, and wheezing. The cough is initially dry. Later, the cough has phlegm, but the child does not spit, and the purring sound can be heard in the throat.

Rapid breathing, nasal flaring, perioral bluening, chest depression, irritability, and often accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea, abdominal distension, etc., may occur. Diagnosis is made if chest auscultation reveals fine crackles in both lungs or one lung. However, the neonatal pneumonia is often atypical, there may be no fever, and there are few cough symptoms, often only manifested as body temperature does not rise, refusal to breastfeed, choking, foaming at the mouth, blue around the mouth, drowsiness, irregular breathing rhythm or jaundice, etc., the lung auscultation sometimes does not hear dry and wet rales, if not careful, often missed diagnosis.

As a result, even professional pediatricians sometimes need to rely on x-rays to help diagnose neonatal pneumonia. How do parents know if their child has pneumonia? Fever and cough in children do not necessarily mean that they have pneumonia, but if they are accompanied by rapid breathing, they should be alert to pneumonia.

Since the 80s, the World Health Organization (WHO) has vigorously advocated "acute respiratory infection case management" in developing countries, and has developed a simple "acute respiratory infection routine" that can be mastered by primary health personnel and parents, that is, to determine whether children have pneumonia and judge the severity of pneumonia by observing whether children have rapid breathing and chest depression.

When observing the number of breaths in your child, it is important to keep your child quiet. The breathing of normal children at rest varies according to different ages, and infants less than two months old should < 60 breaths at the beginning; Infants aged 2-12 months should be < 50 times; Infants aged 1-4 years should < 40 minutes. A chest depression is when the lower chest wall is inverted when the baby inhales.

If the child has a cough accompanied by rapid breathing, it is mild pneumonia; If there is rapid breathing and a depression in the chest, it is severe pneumonia; If the above is accompanied by inability to drink water and cyanosis, it is very severe pneumonia. Generally, mild pneumonia can be done at home**; Severe pneumonia requires hospitalization**. However, if you find symptoms, you must first go to the hospital and ask a doctor to help confirm the diagnosis.
