How does pneumonia affect children? What are the effects of pneumonia on children

It affects the normal growth and development of children, destroys the structure of the lungs, and leads to the formation of bronchiectasis. Bronchiectasis is formed, and after the weather changes and cold, there will be repeated infections, and even symptoms of hemoptysis, which affect the patient's lung function, and eventually lead to respiratory failure, cor pulmonale, and affect the patient's life. Recurrent pneumonia can sometimes affect the patient's heart, leading to manifestations of cardiac insufficiency, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and a significant decrease in activity tolerance.

Therefore, if a child has pneumonia, it is necessary to choose some antibacterial drugs that are small for children according to the results of sputum culture drug sensitivity, and actively anti-inflammatory and anti-infective.

If the child's pneumonia disease is not scientifically standardized, it will lead to a prolonged course of the disease, which will bring a lot of harm to the child, and will cause various complications, such as acute pancreatitis, sepsis, myocarditis, pericarditis, hydrops, lung abscess, pneumothorax, and it is very easy to cause asthma sequelae, and even death.

Pneumonia in children is a particularly common respiratory infectious disease in childhood, and it is also a high incidence of bronchopneumonia, lobar pneumonia and interstitial pneumonia. The causes of the disease are caused by various viruses, various bacteria, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae and fungal infections, and must go to the pediatric department of a regular hospital to find out the cause, and under the guidance of the doctor, it can be given scientific and standardized treatment, and it is necessary to detect it early.

There are many types of pneumonia, such as bacterial pneumonia, including streptococcal pneumonia, Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia, and Haemophilus hemorrhagum pneumonia. The most common pneumonia caused by atypical pathogens is mycoplasma, chlamydial pneumonia, and Legionella pneumonia. The pneumonia that has the greatest impact on humans is also the most virulent, with viral pneumonia and some fungal pneumonia.

The harm of these pneumonias is different, such as bacterial pneumonia, mainly inflammation and infection of the lungs, which will lead to a decrease in the child's immunity, which may cause symptoms such as refusal to eat, nausea, and vomiting. However, mycoplasma and chlamydia pneumonia are self-limited, and even if they are not, some children have strong resistance and can be self-sufficient. Viral pneumonia, which is the most harmful, is the most dangerous and may lead to the loss of life in children.

The impact of pneumonia on children has a lot to do with the degree of infection and the effect of pneumonia. General pneumonia, as long as you seek medical attention in time**, will have little effect on the child's body after recovery. Pathogen-infected pneumonia, such as the more common mycoplasma pneumonia is prone to severe disease and sequelae, if the child has symptoms of pneumonia and does not have it in time, it is easy to delay the condition, and in the case of severe pneumonia, it may lead to impaired ventilation function of the child, which is not conducive to the child's health.

If pneumonia is not timely, the impact on the child is very large, if the pneumonia is not in time, it will cause meningitis, meningitis is very harmful to the child, if it is not timely, it will have sequelae, so the child must go to the hospital in time if he has pneumonia.

Pneumonia is a relatively common disease, usually children have pneumonia, if you get it in time and completely, it will not have any impact on the future.

If your child's pneumonia is young or severe, it is best to follow the doctor's advice to be hospitalized for observation.

Initiatives are proposed. After the child has completely recovered from pneumonia, parents should still be alert to the possibility of pneumonia in their child. If the child's weakened resistance is affected by the surrounding environmental factors, it is still possible to have pneumonia again.

Parents can take their children to get vaccinated against pneumonia when their children are in good spirits, which can reduce the chance of children developing pneumonia.

This includes Streptococcus pneumoniae, which is prone to co-infection with meningitis. Therefore, the impact of pneumonia on children has a lot to do with the degree of infection of pneumonia and whether the doctor is seen in a timely manner, and the harm to children is also different.

Of course, pneumonia has a great impact on the child, well, he will be the child will be coughing for a long time. Exhausted. So be sure to pay attention.

This doesn't make a difference, don't worry too much.

The child has pneumonia and needs to go to the hospital**.

Be sure to get sick in time** so as not to delay the best time.

Be sure to be timely** and do not delay the condition.

1. If pneumonia is severe, it will lead to the aggravation of hypoxemia, leading to arrhythmia, blood pressure dropping, the oxygen required by the child's body is greatly reduced, and the heart rate and breathing are accelerated, so that the load of the heart will increase, and in severe cases, chronic lung will be formed.

It often presents with symptoms such as dyspnea, paleness, and cyanosis. Pneumonia can also be complicated by toxic myocarditis and heart failure, which can easily lead to infant death.

2. The cerebral cortex is very sensitive to hypoxia, and when there is mild hypoxia, children show inattention and memory loss. Acute hypoxia can manifest as irritability or drowsiness, and severe hypoxia can lead to cerebral edema, which is mainly because pneumonia causes long-term hypoxia in children, causing cellular metabolic disorders, causing sodium pump failure, resulting in intracellular edema.

3. Because the child's physical development is not very perfect, the body's immunity is relatively weak, pneumonia can often lead to gastrointestinal disorders, causing the appearance of symptoms such as loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, etc., and more serious can also appear bloody stool.

41. You can give children vaccinations, and you must consult a doctor for the specific injection time;

2. It is very important to develop good personal hygiene habits, teach children the correct way to wash their hands, and wash their hands diligently before meals, which is very important for preventing baby pneumonia.

3. Do not smoke at home or in front of children, because it is easy to get upper respiratory tract infection, pneumonia infection, etc.;

4. Do not take children to public places and crowded places.

What functions can children have with pneumonia? Children have mild and severe pneumonia. ** Mild pneumonia is generally not harmful to children.

However, if it is severe pneumonia, children may experience breathing difficulties, respiratory failure, and even heart failure, which seriously affects the child's health and endangers the child's life. In the early stages of the disease, children are restless, dyspnea, and cyanosis. Their breathing accelerates in the initial phase and slows down in severe cases.

The main reason is that children like to eat foods that are too sweet, too salty, too fried, etc., which leads to night food and internal heat stagnation, catastrophe accumulation and fever, and no lung qi when the wind is cold. The two are mutually causal and lead to pneumonia.

Of course, he was in the acute phase of pneumonia. Because lung infections affect lung function, children may have difficulty breathing and lack of oxygen in severe cases. After children suffer from pneumonia, it can cause respiratory failure, heart failure, liver and kidney failure and other diseases, affecting children's life and health.

Therefore, after being diagnosed with pneumonia, children should follow the doctor's advice, use sensitive anti-inflammatory drugs aggressively**, and promptly treat the symptoms**.

As pneumonia recovers, infection with some pathogens can also lead to changes in the child's prognosis. For example, pneumonia caused by adenovirus infection may leave varying degrees of sequelae, such as bronchiolitis obliterans. Children may have long-term recurrent chronic cough and asthma, affecting their quality of life, which are all harmful to children with pediatric pneumonia.

The gastrointestinal tract function is poor, the digestive glands secrete digestive juices insufficiently, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal relaxation. In severe cases, vomiting is brown or stool is bleeding and bowel sounds are absent, which can lead to toxic intestinal paralysis and toxic hepatitis.

If your child's pneumonia is severe, has met the diagnostic criteria for severe pneumonia, or has some complications or complications, or if your child's illness is long enough to develop persistent pneumonia or chronic pneumonia, it may have some impact on your child's growth and development because it suppresses immune function, or the child is immunocompromised. In addition, complications such as toxic shock, hypoxic encephalopathy, and toxic intestinal paralysis can occur.

1. What are the dangers of pneumonia to the body?

1. Nervous system.

The cerebral cortex is sensitive, and mild hypoxia can cause inattention, memory loss, and disorientation. Patients with acute hypoxia may also experience irritability, and if it develops further, there is a possibility of hazy consciousness or even coma. Hypoxemia has a certain damaging effect on brain tissue, and it is easy to have insufficient energy when hypoxia, and patients cannot work normally, which may cause cerebral edema.

2. Respiratory system.

Ventilation increases when the arterial partial pressure of oxygen drops to 60 mmHg or below, peaking at 30 to 40 mmHg. In chronic hypoxia, ventilation increases. When the partial pressure of oxygen in the arteries decreases too significantly, it inhibits the respiratory center.

The more severe the hypoxia, the earlier the occurrence of cor pulmonale, and the long-term hypoxia will also cause the body's immunity to decrease, and acute respiratory infections are more likely to occur.

2. How to correctly distinguish lung diseases.

1. Tuberculosis.

Most patients have symptoms of systemic poisoning, with night sweats, weakness, insomnia and other adverse symptoms. X-rays may reveal lesions hiding above the apex of the lungs or above the clavicle.

2. Lung cancer. Patients have a decades-long history of smoking, cough, blood in the sputum, and other symptoms, which can be diagnosed if cancer cells are found in the sputum.

In the event of pneumonia, the infection of the lungs causes a series of symptoms, first of all, systemic symptoms, chills, high fever, body temperature of 38 degrees or higher, followed by respiratory symptoms, cough and sputum, chest pain, and dyspnea.
