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, children's pneumonia is the most serious symptom. Now I'll tell you about it.

The most severe symptoms of pneumonia in children

First, the fever has not subsided for more than three or four days, or it burns again 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 is very fast, chest ups and downs are much faster than before, when it's serious, it's the first bit. We should also be alert whether we have 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

Some children with pneumonia had colds a few days ago, such as stuffy nose, runny nose, cough and fever. The above three points should be considered together. Pneumonia can not be considered in a single item. The more consistent it is, the more likely it is pneumonia.
