小児肺炎 - Health Information Translations

Pneumonia in Children
Pneumonia is an infection in the lungs. A germ such as bacteria, virus,
fungus or parasite can cause it. When a child gets pneumonia, tiny air
sacs in the lungs can fill with fluid. This fluid blocks the air sacs and
oxygen cannot get to the body from the lungs.
Signs of Pneumonia
• Chills
• Fever
• Chest Pain
• Cough with yellow or green mucus
• Feeling very tired
• Trouble breathing or fast breathing
• Poor appetite or poor breast or bottle feeding
Your Child’s Care
Your child’s doctor will listen to your child’s lungs. Your child may have
a chest x-ray and a sample of his or her mucus checked for germs. This
is called a sputum culture.
• Your child’s doctor may order antibiotics as pills or in an IV
(intravenous). Give the pills as directed. Be sure to give all of the
medicine, even if your child feels well.
• Your child may be given medicine to ease chest pain or coughing.
Give the medicine as directed.
• Oxygen may be given as a part of your child’s care.

All children 2 years and younger should get the PCV vaccine to

different type of vaccine. Check with your children’s doctor.
