During the process of children's physical growth, it is inevitable that they may experience discomfort, such as fever, which is very common. Many parents have a headache about their children having a fever. The important thing is that a fever can cause some serious illnesses, which is why parents are worried. What should be done if a child's fever causes pneumonia?
After a child has a fever and contracted pneumonia, it is necessary to actively seek medical attention and undergo relevant examinations to assess the severity of the condition before deciding on a treatment plan. The more important examinations include blood routine and lung X-ray. Blood routine examination is to confirm the type of pathogen, while chest X-ray is to confirm the severity of pneumonia. Through examination, the specific situation of lung inflammation can be clarified.
Children with severe symptoms of pneumonia need to be hospitalized for intravenous therapy, and the specific medication used for infusion should be determined based on the type of pathogen. Children with moderate inflammation can be treated with medication, mainly anti-inflammatory drugs and cough suppressants. The specific medication situation should be determined by the doctor.
During the onset of pneumonia in children, there may be symptoms of fever, and parents should closely monitor changes in their child's body temperature. When the body temperature is below 38.5 ℃, warm water can be used to wipe the child's body, using this physical method to cool down. After the body temperature exceeds 38.5 ℃, it is necessary to use antipyretic drugs appropriately to avoid other dangerous diseases caused by high body temperature.
