It usually takes about 14 days for pneumonia to fully recover, but symptoms usually slowly diminish in about 7 days. Generally pneumonia can be cured in most patients after effective antibiotics as well as symptomatic treatment, but there are many patients who still have a cough during the recovery period, which can be accompanied by loss of appetite and poor spirit. At this time, the effect of antibiotic treatment is not obvious. Generally, the mucous membrane in the respiratory tract is congested and edematous, and the state of inflammatory material exudation has not been completely eliminated. It needs a self-repair process to return to the normal state. At this time, you can take appropriate cough and phlegm-suppressing herbal medicines, such as orange red phlegm cough liquid, clear lung and phlegm-suppressing cough granules, etc.; you can also use budesonide nebulizer, chymotrypsin and other nebulized inhalation treatment to relieve symptoms.
