Children, due to their lower resistance, are often classified as weak and sickly compared to the elderly. Therefore, parents should pay extra attention to their children's health issues in their daily lives, otherwise they are prone to neglect, resulting in their children not being detected for illness in the first place and their condition becoming more serious. So how to treat pertussis in children quickly?
For most cases of pertussis, the following treatment measures lead to a faster recovery from the disease.
Firstly, nebulization inhalation therapy should be applied, as pertussis often leads to tracheal spasms in children, resulting in severe coughing with paroxysmal spasms and inspiratory echoes. Nebulized inhalation can be applied to children, which can have a good cough stopping effect.
Secondly, intravenous infusion of erythromycin should be used. After intravenous infusion of erythromycin is used to combat infection, the effect of pertussis bacilli will significantly decrease, because pertussis suppression can improve airway inflammation in children, thus allowing pertussis to recover as soon as possible.
Parents should also be aware that their children will lose a large amount of nutrients after falling ill, so it is necessary to have a nutrition package to compensate for the loss of nutrients. Daily diet should be light and not overly greasy or stimulating. Children can eat more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins. It is also important to drink water in a timely manner to eliminate harmful substances or waste from the body, maintain nutritional balance, and promote metabolism. For children with pertussis, hydration is essential.
