Do you have to give fluids for pediatric pneumonia?

  The doctor will make a comprehensive judgment based on the child’s specific clinical manifestations, such as cough, fever, chest X-ray and the absence of systemic complications, to determine whether fluids are needed.  Mild pediatric pneumonia can be treated symptomatically with oral anti-inflammatory drugs, nebulized inhalation, etc. Pay attention to maintaining indoor air circulation, appropriate temperature and humidity, and giving the child a nutritious diet. If the parents are also sick, pay attention to isolation to prevent cross-infection. Pay attention to give the child more water to avoid dehydration, while drinking more water is also conducive to the wetting of the airway, so even without infusion, some children will heal.  2. Only some more serious pneumonia requires intravenous medication, or if the child is unable to take oral medication for some other concurrent disease reason, such as severe vomiting, diarrhea, etc., intravenous fluids are available at this time.  When judging pediatric pneumonia, it is important to note that although the symptoms of pneumonia onset are fever, coughing, shortness of breath, and even difficulty breathing, not all ages will cough. For some slightly older children, there will be cough and fever, but for newborns, children under half a year old, who have pneumonia may not cough or have fever, and this situation should be judged with care.
