How should pediatric complex pneumonia be treated? Case Description: On August 7th, the child developed cough with phlegm, and the doctor diagnosed it as pneumonia. Hospital of Treatment: Shanghai Fudan University Affiliated Children’s Hospital Minxing New Hospital. Previous Treatment and Effectiveness: About a month and a half ago, the child was hospitalized for one week due to pneumonia, with a relatively mild condition.

Answer
The products can be taken simultaneously; they are all health care products, and it is also important to pay attention to dietary adjustments, regular eating habits, and timely introduction of complementary foods. Pay attention to the child’s defecation situation. If frequent infection symptoms occur, an immunity test can be conducted. This includes products like JiaLi Calcium Chewable Tablets for Health, Health Acetate Capsules, which enhance immunity. Are there better options? This first depends on your specific physical condition—whether you have a lack of immunity. Based on your description, the medications recommended by the doctor are all for enhancing the baby’s immunity. Pay attention to this in daily life; if phlegm appears, you can take ambroxol oral solution for expectoration to prevent it from developing into pneumonia. Avoid taking the child to crowded places to prevent cross-infection, and pay attention to indoor hygiene.
