How to treat pneumonia in children?
In the treatment of pediatric pneumonia, the main choice is to use antimicrobial drugs to control the infection and symptomatic treatment. For patients with mild symptoms, oral medication can be administered, but for those with a prolonged course of illness or difficulty in taking oral medication, drugs can be administered via intramuscular injection or intravenous antibiotics. If the pneumonia is caused by an infection of Streptococcus pneumoniae leading to lobar pneumonia, the first choice of clinical drugs is penicillin antibiotics. If there is an allergy to penicillin, macrolide antibiotics can be used for anti-inflammatory treatment. For patients experiencing respiratory distress and hypoxia, oxygen therapy should also be provided. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor according to specific circumstances.)
