Pneumonia, also known as wheezing pneumonia, is one of the most serious respiratory diseases of the pediatric respiratory system and should not be underestimated. It can seriously affect the normal function of the heart and is most prevalent in small children within 1.5 years of age, especially when the seasons change and it is easy to win the prize, with more pneumonia in winter, caused by bacteria and viruses. Pediatric pneumonia has a rapid onset, is serious and progresses quickly, and is a disease that threatens the health and even the life of the baby. However, it is sometimes similar to the symptoms of pediatric colds and can be easily confused. It is important to know how to identify common illnesses in babies so that you can find out if your baby has pneumonia and get early treatment so that you don’t delay the best treatment. The following points can be used to identify pneumonia: 1. Look at the baby’s reaction The baby’s main symptoms of pneumonia are fever, cough, wheezing, poor spirit, and pneumonia. The onset of pneumonia can be acute or slow, and usually develops several days after the upper respiratory tract infection. The first symptom seen is a fever or cough, and the temperature is usually 38 to 39°C. Adenovirus pneumonia can last for 1 to 2 weeks with a high fever. 2, temperature measurement Most pediatric pneumonia fever, and more than 38 ℃, and last more than 2-3 days does not recede, such as the use of antipyretic drugs can only temporarily recede for a while. Pediatric colds also fever, but more than 38 ℃, the duration is shorter, the effect of antipyretic drugs is also more obvious. 3, to see if the cough breathing difficulties Pediatric pneumonia mostly cough or wheeze, and the degree of heaviness, often causing breathing difficulties. The difficulty in breathing is manifested as breath-holding, both sides of the nose one after the other, the lips of the mouth purple, suggesting a serious condition, do not delay. The cough or wheeze caused by cold and bronchitis is generally lighter and does not cause breathing difficulties. 4. Look at the mental state When a baby has a cold, he or she is generally in good spirits and can play. When a child has pneumonia, the mental state is poor, often irritable, crying and restless, or lethargic, jerking, etc. 5. Look at the diet When a baby has a cold, the diet is still normal, or the food and milk consumption are reduced. However, when the baby has pneumonia, the baby’s diet drops significantly, he or she does not eat and does not eat milk, and often cries and is restless because he or she is holding his or her breath. 6. Look at sleep When your baby has a cold, sleep is still normal. However, after pneumonia, the baby sleeps more and wakes up easily, and cries; there is a tendency for the breathing difficulty to increase at night. 7, listen to the child’s chest Because the baby’s chest wall is thin, sometimes without a stethoscope with the ear can also hear the blistering sound, so parents can be quiet or asleep in the child’s chest wall on both sides of the spine, listen carefully; pneumonia children at the end of inhalation will hear “grunt”, “grunt “This is an important sign of inflammation of the lungs. Pediatric colds usually do not have such sounds. After the above methods, if most of these situations occur, that should be suspected that the baby has pneumonia, the mother should take the child to the hospital early to see the doctor, the earlier the cure, the better the cure, the mother merits one!
