Babies suffering from pneumonia are very serious because after the pneumonia becomes severe, there will be symptoms such as fever, cough, and vomiting. Especially for 1-year-old babies, their physical endurance is very poor, and parents will be very worried after suffering from pneumonia. Proper treatment is needed. How to treat pneumonia in a 1-year-old baby?
1. Drug therapy
After the baby suffers from pneumonia, seek medical examination and prescribe medication for treatment. Most cases of pneumonia are caused by bronchitis or the spread of upper respiratory tract infections. So first, the inflammation needs to be eliminated in order for pneumonia to be relieved.
2. Steam bath therapy
You can close the doors and windows of the bathroom and turn on the showerhead to fill the room with hot steam. Then stay in the steam bath with the baby for about 5 minutes. The steam gas can enter the baby's lungs from their throat, diluting the phlegm inside, making breathing smoother, and reducing the symptoms of pneumonia.
3. Supplement water
Encourage babies to rest more and provide them with sufficient hydration. In addition to preventing dehydration, this can also dilute phlegm, making it easier to cough it out. Baby's body is relatively small, so they should not drink too much water at once. They can be supplemented in small amounts multiple times, which is very beneficial for pneumonia.
4. Warm treatment
After a baby develops pneumonia, it is important to keep warm. Let the baby breathe more fresh air and avoid the smell of cooking fumes indoors, which can have a relieving effect.
The baby's physical condition is relatively weak, and corresponding treatment must be taken in a timely manner. During the illness, medication should not be given to the baby without authorization, otherwise it will affect the condition.
