Pneumonia can be caused by influenza, staphylococcus, herpes, streptococcus and hemophilus influenzae. Pneumonia cannot be treated with traditional and pharmaceutical products without determining its cause. Children and patients over 60 years of age with this diagnosis are hospitalized. Adults are allowed to stay at home, but on the condition that they take the medications prescribed by the doctor and follow the recommendations.
Rest and disinfection
Pneumonia lasts from 7 days to 3 weeks. A patient who refuses hospitalization should lie in bed and sleep at least 8–12 hours a day. The body is trying to destroy the infection that caused pneumonia, and it needs proper rest. Patients are allowed to get out of bed only in three cases:
- wanted to go to the toilet;
- the room is ventilated;
- The room is disinfected with a quartz lamp.
Several pillows are placed under the person’s back, raising top part torso to make breathing easier. Humidifiers are installed in the room. They thin out purulent secretions and help the lungs clear mucus.
The room, which has become a makeshift ward, is ventilated twice a day. Stagnant air contains too many germs and viruses, which slow down healing. A dose of fresh oxygen makes breathing easier and improves your well-being. The patient is transferred to another room for ventilation. A draft, even a slight one, can provoke pleurisy or even a lung abscess.
The makeshift ward is regularly cleaned, dusted and the floor washed with disinfectants. It is recommended to carry out quartzing daily. If there is no special equipment in the house, bowls with chopped onions and garlic are placed around the room. The preparation releases phytoncides that destroy bacteria and viruses.
Some essential oils have antimicrobial properties:
- eucalyptus;
- clove;
- pine;
- tea tree;
- peppermint;
- fir;
- rosemary.
Natural ingredients are added to aroma lamps. Essential oils are mixed with warm water and sprayed around the room using a spray bottle. They soothe, relax, disinfect the air and help the body fight inflammation.
Microbes accumulate not only in the room, but also in oral cavity sick. The patient should brush his teeth twice a day and gargle with chamomile infusion or soda solution. Warm baths with essential oils or herbal infusions.
If you have pneumonia with a high temperature, you should not steam your feet or bathe in too much hot water. The procedures place additional stress on the heart. Tachycardia develops and blood pressure rises. A person may experience heart failure, so doctors recommend limiting yourself to woolen socks and warm pajamas.
A patient who is suspected of having pneumonia submits sputum for analysis. Experts determine which virus is the causative agent and select effective antibacterial agents and antibiotics. You cannot take medications on your own. Viruses quickly become accustomed to medications and stop responding to medications.
Antibiotics are combined with expectorants:
- Lazolvan;
- Mukobene;
- Acestin;
- Mukonex;
- Ambroxol.
Inflamed lungs produce pus, which causes mucus to become thick and linger in the airways. The drugs dilute the secretion, facilitating the release of mucus. They activate the production of substances that prevent pus from sticking to the alveoli and eliminate shortness of breath.
Pulmonary edema is relieved by antihistamines. Along with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs and bronchodilators, which expand the lumen of the airways, may be prescribed. Antipyretic medications are recommended to be taken in extreme cases when the thermometer shows more than 39, and the patient’s thoughts are confused. If the patient feels normal, the temperature is not lowered. Microbes die precisely at 38–38.5.
