whether or not pneumonia also needs to be seen whether children have cough, asthma and breathing difficulties. Cough and asthma caused by colds and bronchitis are often paroxysmal and usually do not suffer from dyspnea.

children suffer from pneumonia when most children suffer from fever,
[b], />[b], fever [/b]
children suffer from pneumonia, most of which have fever symptoms, body temperature is more than 38 degrees centigrade, lasting two or three days, antipyretic drugs It can only temporarily freeze the body temperature for a while, and it will soon rise again. Although children's colds are also febrile, the body temperature is mostly below 38 degrees Celsius, and the duration is short. The effect of antipyretic drugs is also obvious.
but at the same time, we should be alert to children with pneumonia without fever. The temperature may be high, but it may not be fever or even lower body temperature. The duration of fever can not be used as a basis for judging pneumonia. Some babies develop pneumonia only in two days, and some babies are not caused by pneumonia for a week. Therefore, judging from the fact that fever does not determine whether the child is suffering from pneumonia, it is necessary to combine several other aspects.
[b] two, to see whether cough or breathing [/b]
determines whether or not to have pneumonia needs to see whether the child has cough, wheezing and breathing difficulties. Cough and asthma caused by colds and bronchitis are often paroxysmal and usually do not suffer from dyspnea. If the cough and asthma are heavy, the respiratory frequency increases rapidly (that is, the number of breaths of the baby is more than 60 times / points in 2 months; 2-12 months infants more than 50 times / points; 1-5 years old or more than 40 / sub), one of the two sides of the nose is one piece, the lip is green or purple. Once the above symptoms appear, the condition is serious and can not be procrastinating. More than 50% of the pathogens of
viral pneumonia are respiratory syncytial virus, which accounts for 1/3 of the total number of hospitalized children with pneumonia. It's good in winter and spring. The most typical age of good hair is 6 months old -3 years old. These children tend to get sick, first with the symptoms of "cold", duration of about 3 days, showing a low fever (measuring temperature of 38 degrees C), flow of snot water, cough, about 60% children can also not have a fever. 2-3 days later, the cough increased, breathing quickly and superficial, up to 60-100 times per minute. The most prominent symptoms are wheezing, suppressing, prolonged expiration, and sometimes the wheeze does not need to be stethoscope.
> lobar pneumonia is one or more lung lobes with inflammation and complete consolidation. The pathogen is Streptococcus pneumoniae. Bacterial pneumonia accounts for about 10% - 30% of the total number of pneumonia in children. Typical patients are cold, high fever, chest pain, cough, iron rust, sputum, dyspnea, facial and lip purple.
judging whether or not pneumonia is needed depends on whether the child has cough, wheezing and breathing. Cough and asthma caused by colds and bronchitis are often paroxysmal and usually do not suffer from dyspnea.
careful mothers should also pay attention to the mental state of children
[b] three see mental [/b]
to find children pneumonia in time, careful mothers should also pay attention to the child's mental state. If a child is hot, coughing and wheezing, he can also play and laugh at the same time. On the contrary, the child's mental state is not good, the lips are purple, irritable, the crying or drowsiness, the wind, the few children can appear delirium is the child is more serious, the possibility of pneumonia is greater.
children may have no significant mental changes or mental disorders at the initial stage of pneumonia.
four see appetite
have pneumonia, appetite will be significantly reduced, children have pneumonia, do not eat, or when the milk is crying and restless. If the child has pneumonia, it should continue to feed, feed, drink more soup food, if the children's appetite diminished, should be a small amount of meals, breastfeeding infants should increase the number of daily feeding, in order to enhance nutrition and physical strength.
[b] five listen to the chest [/b]
because the child's chest wall is thin and sometimes the stethoscope can be heard, so careful parents can listen to his chest when the child is quiet or asleep. When you listen to children's chest, ask for room temperature above 18 degrees, remove the child's coat, gently put the ear on the chest wall on both sides of the child's spine, and listen carefully. Pneumonia children will hear the sound of "guru" and "guru" when they breathe in, and doctors call it small vesicular sound, which is an important sign of pulmonary inflammation.
at the same time careful observation of children with chest depression (when inhaled, the sides of the ribs at the edge of depression with breathing). If this happens, it is necessary to send the child to the hospital immediately for diagnosis.
