Treatment of pediatric pneumonia, can childhood pneumonia be cured?

Children with pneumonia can be completely **. However, there are many causes of pneumonia disease, such as severe pneumonia caused by viruses in children, and pneumonia caused by bacteria in children. Some babies are caused by mycoplasma or chlamydia infection, and some children are due to aspiration pneumonia, which needs to be done in a regular hospital for a detailed examination, to find out the specific**, and then give a targeted **.

Children suffering from severe pneumonia, during this period must keep indoor ventilation, avoid dry air, to keep the indoor temperature and humidity to be appropriate, and at the same time during this period children should drink more boiled water, can promote the faster recovery of pneumonia disease, during this period children must pay more attention to keep warm, avoid cold, are effective in preventing the aggravation of symptoms, can also promote the faster recovery of the disease.

Most pediatric pneumonias can be cured.

**The principle is: take a comprehensive **, improve ventilation function, effectively control inflammation, and avoid the occurrence of complications.

1.General**: Keep the ward well ventilated, maintain the room temperature at 20, eat easy-to-digest food, and often turn over and pat the back for the child.

2.Antibiotics**: Pneumonia caused by bacteria, depending on the organism. If unavailable, penicillin or ampicillin (skin testing is required).

3.Symptomatic**: If there is a lack of oxygen, you need to inhale oxygen first, and then take an oral expectorant drug, if the sputum is thick and difficult to cough up, nebulization can be used**.

According to recent surveys, pneumonia has become the number one killer of children under the age of 5 in China. Parents should do a good job in the daily care of their children, prevent pneumonia, and if abnormalities are found, they should be found as soon as possible**.

Recently, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention conducted a survey on children under the age of 5 with pneumonia in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and the results showed that pneumococcal infection accounted for 50%, and the mortality rate exceeded the incidence of congenital heart disease in infants and young children, becoming the number one killer of children under 5 years old.

Pneumococcal disease is a group of infectious diseases caused by pneumococcus that may cause serious consequences, including pneumonia, meningitis, bacteremia, otitis media and other malignant diseases, which can cause serious consequences such as respiratory failure, myocardial damage, and even death. Children under 5 years of age are more susceptible to pneumococcal invasion due to low levels of circulatory pneumococcal antibodies, especially infants under 2 years of age. Pneumococci can be spread by coughing or sneezing and remain dormant in the body for long periods of time.

Surveys have shown that about a quarter of healthy children in China carry pneumococcus.

At the same time, he pointed out that due to the extremely common use of pediatric antibiotics in China, drug-resistant pneumococci are easier to survive, which may lead to the failure of the conventional dose of clinical empirical antibiotics, causing serious consequences and even death, and often causing a lot of sequelae.

According to experts, from the current domestic clinical point of view, the initial symptoms of pneumococcal disease are usually respiratory infection symptoms, such as fever, chills, vomiting, earache, cough, etc., which are generally difficult to identify. Many children are admitted to a specialist hospital only after a few days of cough that does not improve, followed by symptoms such as high fever, and once delayed**, the damage caused by pneumococcal disease to children's health is sometimes irreversible.

Experts say: The key to pneumococcal is prevention, and prevention is more important than prevention. It is reported that the World Health Organization and pediatric experts at home and abroad agree that the best way to avoid pneumococcal disease is to vaccinate children with pneumococcal vaccine as soon as possible, do a good job of prevention, and help babies obtain antibodies against pneumococcus.

Look at what pneumonia is. Mycoplasma pneumonia is relatively troublesome, and in addition to taking Archie or erythromycin for a week, it has to be taken orally intermittently for a period of time. There are more children with bronchopneumonia, and there should be no problem with a course of treatment.

The first principle of pneumonia is to use anti-inflammatory drugs to kill pathogenic bacteria. According to the selection of sensitive drugs for different pathogens, early **, full course of treatment, according to the condition of the first program, but also to treat the symptoms such as fever to give antipyretic, cough should be given phlegm cough drugs, severe pneumonia should be timely to the hospital for corresponding hospitalization**.

Western Medicine**.

1.Antibiotics**: for bacterial pneumonia.

Penicillin 5 to 10 mg kg a day is preferred, divided into 2 intramuscular injections, until the fever has subsided for 3 days. If the effect is not good or allergic, lincomycin 30-50mg kg a day can be used, divided into 2 intravenous drops. Cefotaxime (Cheforon) 50-100g kg a day in 2 divided doses.

Mild patients can take oral antibiotics, such as ampicillin hydroxyl (amoxicillin) 50 to 100 mg kg a day. Flemocin (ampicillin) 25 50 mg kg a day in 2-3 divided doses. Erythromycin is the drug of choice for mycoplasma pneumonia and can be given 30 50 mg kg daily orally in 3-4 divided doses, or 20-30 mg kg daily intravenously.

Concentration. 2.Antiviral**:

Ribavirin (virazole) 10 to 20 mg kg daily orally in 3 divided doses, or 10 to 15 mg kg daily in 2 divided doses, and acyclic guanosine 15 to 20 mg kg daily in 2-3 divided doses. 3.Symptomatic treatment (1) Oxygen inhalation:

Those with cyanosis are given oxygen. (2) Antitussive: phenagen, oral or intramuscular.

3) Phlegm: - chymotrypsin atomization and sucking.

To go to the hospital formally**, nebulization** is the best choice, I am a doctor, of course, if necessary, with infusion or intramuscular injection or oral medication.
