What causes acute pneumonia in children

Acute pneumonia in children may be caused by pathogen infection, inhalation of foreign bodies, etc. It is recommended that parents bring their children to the hospital for treatment in time and carry out targeted treatment under the guidance of doctors.

1. Reasons

1. Pathogen infection: If the child's body resistance is weakened and the child does not pay attention to hygiene, it may lead to the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria or viruses into the body, thereby inducing acute pneumonia;

2. Inhalation of foreign bodies: If the child accidentally inhales some small toys or food into the lungs in daily life, it may affect the normal respiratory function, and even lack of oxygen, which will also cause acute pneumonia.

2. Treatment

When the child is diagnosed with acute pneumonia, it is necessary to actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment, and if it is caused by bacterial infection, he can take amoxicillin granules, cefixime granules and other drugs for anti-inflammatory treatment according to the doctor's instructions. If it is caused by a viral infection, you can take drugs such as oseltamivir phosphate granules and ribavirin granules for antiviral treatment under the guidance of a doctor. If necessary, it can also be improved by inhaling oxygen, which can ensure that the body has sufficient oxygen supply.

For patients with more severe symptoms, it is necessary to go to the emergency department of the hospital for medical treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition. In daily life, we should pay attention to a reasonable diet, and try to focus on light and easy-to-digest foods, such as millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, etc. At the same time, it is also necessary to take measures to keep warm and avoid catching a cold.
