Pneumonia is a common disease that can cause serious harm and impact to patients. If patients are not aware that this may be pneumonia after onset, treatment may be delayed. The probability of a baby getting pneumonia is also very high now. Let's take a look at the obvious symptoms of pneumonia in a 1-year-old baby.
1. High fever: Many babies who contract pneumonia may suddenly feel cold and start to have a fever. Their body temperature can exceed 39 degrees Celsius, and their food intake may also decrease. Therefore, when a baby has a fever, it cannot be ignored.
2. Coughing: When a baby suffers from pneumonia, they may have a stimulating dry cough without phlegm, but soon they will start to produce white mucus phlegm during coughing. Some children may have blood streaks in their phlegm, and in two days, their cough will turn into bloody mucus phlegm, which is also very dark in color.
3. Dyspnea: Children with pneumonia are prone to breathing difficulties due to chest pain and other reasons, mainly manifested as rapid and shallow breathing. If pneumonia is severe, the patient's gas exchange will also be adversely affected, which may lead to cyanosis.
4. Sleepiness: Because the occurrence of pneumonia can make it difficult for the child to breathe, it is easy for the brain to lack oxygen and blood supply to be affected. Therefore, the child may have symptoms of drowsiness. Some patients with serious illnesses may not only experience drowsiness, but also blurred or even coma, requiring vigilance.
