Where is pneumonia treated?

summary

Pneumonia is a common respiratory disease, especially when the temperature is warmer in spring, but the climate change is still relatively large, which is the high incidence period of pneumonia, and also the period that needs the most attention in the treatment of pneumonia. For the treatment of pneumonia, the first thing to know is by which bacteria caused. For the elderly patients who are weak and unable to expectorate or have a large amount of sputum, the main treatment should be expectorant, assisting in expectoration and unblocking the respiratory tract. Strong antitussive agents such as codeine should be avoided. In order to avoid inhibiting the central and aggravating respiratory obstruction and inflammation, leading to deterioration of the disease. Where is pneumonia treated? Let's talk about it

Where is pneumonia treated?

During the treatment of pneumonia, we should keep indoor air circulation, room temperature 18 ~ 20 ℃, humidity 60%. Diet should be light, rich in vitamins and protein, a small number of meals, severe can not eat to give intravenous nutrition. Remove the secretion of upper respiratory tract in time, pat the back regularly or change the body position to facilitate sputum discharge and keep the respiratory tract unobstructed.

The treatment of general pneumonia does not need to use adrenocortical hormone. For severe pneumonia patients with obvious poisoning symptoms, severe wheezing, complicated with brain edema, toxic encephalopathy, septic shock and respiratory failure, adrenocortical hormone can be used for a short time on the premise of sufficient use of antibiotics.

Physical therapy such as ultrashort wave can promote the dissipation and absorption of pulmonary inflammation in patients with prolonged course of disease, once a day, 5 times as a course of treatment. Turpentine can also be used.

matters needing attention

To keep the airway unobstructed, the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are often weak and unable to cough, which is easy to block the ventilation. Shock pneumonia can be complicated with respiratory failure and respiratory distress syndrome. In the treatment of these pneumonia, it is necessary to keep the airway unobstructed.
