Baby illness is the last thing parents want to see, but it is inevitable to get sick during growth. Common diseases such as colds, fever, and pneumonia are also quite common. As we all know, pneumonia can bring great harm and must be taken seriously. So, what are the symptoms of pneumonia in a 3-year-old baby?
1. Fever: Usually pneumonia can cause fever, and the onset of pneumonia is relatively urgent. First, it is a symptom of a cold, and a few days later, a fever appears. Even if fever reduction methods are used, it can only temporarily cool down, and then it will start again.
2. Cough: A common reaction to pneumonia is coughing. In the early stages of pneumonia, it is caused by irritating dry cough, followed by wet phlegm cough. During this period, babies may cry, have decreased appetite, and cough and vomiting.
3. Shortness of breath: After fever and cough, pneumonia is accompanied by increased breathing, and more severe babies may experience symptoms such as wheezing, difficulty breathing, pale lips and nails, or cyanosis.
If a baby experiences the above symptoms, it is likely to be caused by pneumonia, but different babies may have different reactions, so it is important not to be careless. When problems arise, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Through further examination to confirm the condition and targeted treatment, not only can it be quickly relieved, but it will also not cause greater hidden dangers, which is crucial for the growth of the baby.
