Symptoms of pneumonia at 3 years old

summary

Infantile pneumonia is a serious threat to the health and safety of infants, so the early detection of pneumonia is very important, after all, the earlier the treatment, the better. A few days ago, a parent asked me what early symptoms a 3-year-old child would have if he had pneumonia. I think this is a problem that many parents are also concerned about. Today, I'd like to talk about the early symptoms of pneumonia in three-year-old children.

Symptoms of pneumonia at 3 years old

1、 Mental state is not good. When a child is infected with pneumonia, the state of mind can also tell everything. If the child has a fever, cough and good spirit, and can play and laugh, it indicates that the possibility of suffering from pneumonia is very small. On the contrary, the child's mental state is poor, irritable, crying or sleepy, windy, a small number of children can appear delirium, which means that the child is more seriously ill, more likely to get pneumonia.

2、 Low appetite. If children get pneumonia, their appetite will also drop significantly, and they will not want to eat, or they will cry as soon as they eat. 3、 Fever. When children about three years old suffer from pneumonia, their body temperature will rise. Most of them will rise to above 38 ℃ and last for two or three days. Antipyretic drugs can only make their body temperature drop for a while, and then rise again soon. Although children's colds can also cause fever, their body temperature is mostly below 38 ℃ and the duration is short. The effect of antipyretic drugs is also obvious.

4、 Cough. Cough is also one of the early symptoms of pneumonia, when the cough can be different from the common cold, when the cough with asthma, and respiratory rate is different than usual. 5、 There is a strange sound in the chest. Chest abnormal sound is also one of the early symptoms of pneumonia, but parents need to carefully observe to find. Careful parents can listen to their children's chest when they are quiet or asleep, and hear the sound of "Gulu Er" and "Gulu Er" when their children breathe in. Doctors call it a small blister sound, which is an important sign of lung inflammation.

matters needing attention

If parents find that their children have some of the above symptoms, don't think it's no big deal. It's better to take their children to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. If they are diagnosed with pneumonia, the earlier the treatment is, the better. If it's not pneumonia, they also want to feel at ease. Finally, I sincerely hope that all children can stay away from pneumonia.
