What to do about pneumonia when you’re in bed for a long time

Long-term bed-ridden pneumonia is generally referred to as crural pneumonia. Long-term bed-ridden lungs are easily bruised at the bottom of the lungs and sputum is not easy to cough up, thus leading to crural pneumonia. 1. Physiotherapy: In daily life, it is not easy for patients to recover from lung infections due to being bedridden. It is recommended to turn the patient regularly, pat the back, drain sputum, and inhale oxygen to improve the situation. As pneumonia may lead to increased secretion and poor sputum discharge, nebulization of sputum can be used regularly to ensure the smooth discharge of sputum. 2. Application of medicines: Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia is mostly caused by bacterial infections, and can be treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics such as third-generation cephalosporins such as cefadroxil or quinolones such as levofloxacin, etc. If the effect is not good, the sputum culture test can be used to select sensitive antibiotics based on the results of drug sensitivity tests. Daily life for the patient’s care should be careful, especially in the feeding of water, feeding and other situations should be done slowly, to avoid choking and coughing and other situations, if there is a fever or coughing symptoms worsening should be timely medical care to give standardized treatment.
