Walking pneumonia is a type of pneumonia that did not keep the child confined to bed or in hospital. Learn the differences between the types of pneumonia, and their treatment by the doctor in this video for the treatment of the child. Hi, I'm Dr. David Hill and today we will talk about walking pneumonia in children. Now I always thought it funny name, so that not walking pneumonia, is not it? The child goes. This is to distinguish it from pneumonia, which can keep the child confined to bed or in hospital. This is a very old archaic period of time before, when we know what caused the pneumonia, we just know that some are really bad, and some were not so bad. Most of pneumonia in children who do not make them seriously ill or caused by viruses, which tend not to respond to any treatment whatsoever, or what we call Atypical bacteria. They are usually members of mycoplasma Clomidia although another type of Atypical bacteria. Atypical bacteria we usually take a group of medications called macrolydes. These include erythromycin, clarithromycin and azithromycin one of the most popular ones are likely to azithromycin, Zithromax on the brand, it is that does not seem to cause as many intestinal disorders, and you can take just three days, medicine, and in some cases, just one big dose, and do with this infection. It lasts much longer in the blood, so you should not take him so long to treat the infection. Diagnosis of pneumonia in part based on the symptoms. Your child was unclear cough two or three weeks? Does your child's chest pain? Is he or she dyspnea or shortness of breath? Now, shortness of breath can be heard stethoscope exam and often indicates a viral infection or asthma, but sometimes we see it from pneumonia as well. Fever, which run on more than three days accompanied by a runny nose, nasal congestion and cough may offer or pneumonia or bacterial sinus infections. So if your child has fever lasts more than three days or if your child has high fever, which comes a few days, going for 24 hours and then returned, the child should be examined by a doctor and, possibly, treatment with antibiotics. Diagnosis of pneumonia, we listen to your chest by stethoscope. There is a very specific sound that we hear this sound of fluid inside the tiny air sacs in the lungs. We call on those raw materials or crack, and they strongly indicate pneumonia. We may not get a chest x-ray. Sometimes the history of the exam all you really need to know. Sometimes we want to get a chest x-ray. Sometimes we see pneumonia on radiographs that we hear when we listen to the lungs. Sometimes we hear pneumonia that does not appear on chest x-ray. In any case, it is probably appropriate for the treatment of pneumonia, that with adequate antibiotics. Now, if the pneumonia does not seem to be the answer, the child seems to be deteriorating with constant heat with breathing problems or chest pain, please, baby reassessment. Pneumonia may deteriorate and, although we believe this era, the era of antibiotics, as when children do not die of pneumonia, they certainly can and they can get very bad. So if you're at all concerned that strattera dosing your child does not respond properly call your child's doctor and he has not seen. Speaking about the treatment of pneumonia in children, I'm Dr. David Hill. .
