How to check for pneumonia

summary

If you have been to a hospital, you will be surprised to find that more than half of the children hospitalized are pneumonia. Pneumonia is also the biggest killer of children's death. As young parents, how should we judge whether the baby has pneumonia. Now let me tell you something.

How to check for pneumonia

First, the fever has not subsided for more than 3 or 4 days, or it has burned up after a few hours. It's time to be on the alert for pneumonia. A cold usually subsides in three or four days. Some parents think that pneumonia is caused by burning for a long time. In fact, it's not. Fever is just the manifestation of pneumonia. Some parents think that high fever is pneumonia. My baby has a low fever for a few days, not pneumonia. This idea is also wrong. Pneumonia doesn't necessarily burn very high. Some children don't burn when they have pneumonia, or even have a low temperature.

Second: cough for a long time, began to cough without sputum, after a few days cough sputum, which also need to be vigilant is not pneumonia. Of course, pneumonia doesn't have to cough up sputum. Many infants about one year old can't cough up sputum at all. If they can't cough up sputum, they will be very irritable and cry all the time. It's useless to pacify them.

Third: breathing very fast, chest ups and downs much faster than before, serious when the first bit, which also need to be vigilant about pneumonia. The reason for faster breathing is that pneumonia causes the baby to feel lack of oxygen, so it can only speed up breathing to increase oxygen supply.

matters needing attention

Children's breathing sound is very heavy, like the sound of air pump pumping. It can only be heard when they are slightly close to children, or even when they are far away. This wheezing voice is sometimes loud, and sometimes it is reduced. We should also be on guard against pneumonia.
