Is childhood pneumonia contagious1

  1. In general, pneumonia in children is not contagious, but if they suffer from viral pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia, or mycoplasma pneumonia, they may be transmitted to others. The infectivity of pneumonia is very weak, and it is generally not contagious without close contact. So if a baby suffers from childhood pneumonia, as long as they can keep a safe distance from others, they will not transmit it to others.

  2. Moreover, the transmission of sleep infections in children is mainly through saliva and air, so as long as there is not too close contact during the illness, there are generally not many problems. Of course, if the pneumonia in children is very serious, it is still advisable to let the baby rest at home to avoid infecting other babies. At the same time, it is important to let the baby drink plenty of water during the illness to accelerate the recovery process.

  After the baby develops infantile pneumonia, it is important to ventilate and disinfect the room to prevent other viral infections. Of course, after the onset of pediatric pneumonia, it is still important to actively seek treatment, take medication according to the doctor's instructions, and pay attention to diet to avoid eating foods that are not beneficial for treatment and to consume more nutritious foods.
