The first goal is achieved by appointing antibiotics (pneumonia is an infectious disease), the second one provides for the treatment of temperature, cough treatment, total patient care. In this article we will tell about the basic principles of the treatment of pneumonia in children and adults.

Before as
Go to the description of the principles of treatment of pneumonia Note that pneumonia
refers to severe diseases that require careful
diagnosis and qualified treatment. In case of suspicion
On the pneumonia you need to urgently consult a doctor.
Based on what symptoms can be suspected pneumonia?
Symptoms of pneumonia:
- Dyspnea – A constant sign of pneumonia, which indicates the defeat of the tissues of the lungs;
- Raising
Temperatures of the body – This is a sign of inflammation and general intoxication
The body of the patient with the inflammation of the lungs. During pneumonia temperature
lasts longer than with influenza or other ARVI.
- Cough – There are in most cases of pneumonia. When coughing can be highlighted by rusty wet.
- Breast pain (especially on the side) – clear but unstable sign of pneumonia.
- The overall condition of the patient – at pneumonia can vary from medium severity to severe.
Accurate
Diagnosis Conduct doctors. For this, methods are used
Clinical examination of the patient,
X-ray examination (light radiography),
Microbiological and immunological studies.
Treatment of pneumonia
Symptomatic
Pneumonia treatment is aimed at eliminating or relieving the main
Symptoms of the disease. As symptomatic treatment prescribed
Antipyretic agents and musolithic preparations.
Reduced
Temperatures in patients with pneumonia need to be carried out only if
visible need for this: temperature above 39c in adults,
Heavy condition of the patient.
Mulitatic (expectorant)
Preparations are used to facilitate the removal of sputum of bronchi.
Also, some modern muscolics increase activity
Antibiotics used in the treatment of pneumonia. Recommended
The use of such musolithics like ambroxol (Lazolyvan, Ambroben), ATSC
(Acetylcysteine, Mukobene), Carbocystein (Mukdin, Mukopront).
Dosage, as well as the duration of treatment with mercolitics are installed
attending a doctor.
General measures to care for patients with pneumonia
More
80% of patients with pneumonia can be treated at home. For increase
the effectiveness of treatment and the speedy recovery of the patient is important to provide
sick need help and care.
Food and drink.
Nutrition of patient pneumonia should be calorie, however
It is recommended to eliminate the patient's malfunctioned from the diet
Products (for example, excess fat). It is advisable to enrich the diet
Patient with pneumonia vegetables and fruit.
All over the disease
patient need to provide abundant drink – It increases the selection
sputum and prevents the development of dehydration on the background of temperature. IN
The period of high temperature patient should write up to 3 liters of fluid
in a day.
It is recommended to drink milk, fruit juices, mineral water
(alkaline).
All over the disease (pneumonia), the patient needs peace and comfort. Compliance with beddown strictly recommended.
Medical gymnastics (healing physical education) during pneumonia. Medical
Gymnastics significantly accelerates the recovery of the patient and warns
The development of some complications, and therefore is shown to all patients with pneumonia.
Therapeutic gymnastics should be started from the first days of the disease:
- IN
The first days of the patient must often change position in bed. In the presence of
chest pain patients pneumonia prefer to lie on
sick side, however it can increase the risk of forming pleural
Sadek. Therefore, the patients are recommended to periodically go to a healthy
side as well as back.
- For 2-3-4 days
Diseases are recommended to carry out respiratory gymnastics: for this
The patient in the position of lying puts hands on the belly and deeply inhales. Exhalation
Made slowly, gradually drawing abdominal muscles. Such breaths
repeat 10-15 times 4-5 times a day. Respiratory gymnastics can be
spend and in position standing or sitting, while you can do
auxiliary movements with hands (hands climb up, and
when you exhale go down). Respiratory gymnastics can be added
movements in hands and legs. During pneumonia, especially useful
Exercises in the chest (rotation of the body, tilting forward and in
sides). Claims of medical gymnastics are recommended and
Some time after recovery.
General principles of treatment of pneumonia (lung inflammation) antibiotics
Front
the beginning of the treatment of pneumonia, like any other disease, must be determined
The severity of the inflammation of the lungs – Further tactic depends on this
treatment of illness and the risk associated with it.
In medical practice in
according to the severity of pneumonia and risk to the life of the patient,
It is customary to share all patients with inflammation of the lungs into several major
Group.
IN First group enter the patients younger than 60 years
any heavy concomitant diseases that are pneumonia
Developed without complications. In the treatment of pneumonia, these patients can
Antibiotics from a group of penicillins and macrolides. Such
Patients can take at home, under the supervision of the doctor.
In second group
enter the patients over 60 years old, in addition to pneumonia there are also
Other diseases (diabetes mellitus, cardiac or renal
Insufficiency, psyche disorders, chronic alcoholism, hypertension, etc.). In the treatment of inflammation of the lungs in these patients apply
Antibiotics from a group of protected aminopenicillins, as well as
Third generation cephalosporins. Due to the severe flow of pneumonia
These patients and high risk of developing complications, treatment of pneumonia
It is preferable to carry out in a hospital, that is, the patient needs
put in hospital.
IN Third group Parties are included
age groups that have a serious flow of pneumonia and
There is a high risk of developing complications.
For gravity evaluation
patient states (child, adult, elderly man) are used
The following criteria: shortness of breath (breathing frequency above 30 per minute),
confusion of consciousness, sinusiness of covers (cyanosis), temperature above 39С, accelerated pulse (from 90 and higher), reduced blood pressure
(100/60 mm. RT. pillar).
Treatment of pneumonia in this group of patients
It is necessary to conduct only in the hospital (in the hospital). As shown
Clinical research, treatment of pneumonia in such a contingent
Patients are better to prepare from the group of fluoroquinolones
(Ciprofloxacin, offloxacin). These patients also recommended
to determine the type of microba caused by pneumonia.
The duration of the treatment of pneumonia
Duration
treatment of pneumonia is determined individually for each patient. At
uncomplicated pneumonia treatment antibiotics throws three days after
Disappearance of temperature. The duration of the treatment of complicated pneumonia
determined by the attending physician depending on the severity of inflammation
lungs and on availability of complications. Legionell pneumonia is treated in
21 days (3 weeks).
Pneumonia forecast
At
Uncomplicated pneumonia and proper treatment Pneumonia forecast
favorable. Complete recovery is observed after 3-4 weeks.
Pneumonia prevention
Pneumonia prevention suggests
Hardening of the body, unloading smoking, periodic ventilation
working and residential premises. It is important to have proper nutrition and
healthy lifestyle.
