Lung pain without cough

If a person feels a dull pain in the lungs but does not have a cough, he or she should be alert to lung infection and should go to the hospital for examination in time. Based on the specific examination results, if there is indeed inflammation, antibiotic treatment should be carried out. Antibiotic drip treatment can be used, and a treatment plan should be determined. During the normal treatment process, attention should also be paid to diet adjustment and adequate rest.

Treatment options

1. Clear the primary lesion. Patients with inhalation injuries or severe burns of the face and neck should strengthen airway management, effectively clear airway secretions and necrotic and detached mucosa, and promote healing of airway wounds. In cases of hematogenous pneumonia, sepsis should be controlled and distant lesions should be cleared. 2. Based on the results of sputum culture or bacterial examination of the wound or blood, the drug should generally be administered intravenously. Antibiotics can also be inhaled by nebulization or an appropriate amount of antibiotics can be added to the lavage fluid. 3. If concurrent respiratory insufficiency occurs, treat it as respiratory insufficiency.

Dietary taboos after congenital heart disease surgery

1. Strictly control salt intake. The main components of salt are sodium and chlorine. Sodium has the function of "hydrating" tissues in the human body. Most of the sodium and chloride in the body are excreted through urine. However, excessively high sodium ion concentration in the blood will cause a large amount of water retention in the body, resulting in edema all over the body, enlarged liver, increased burden on the heart, and in severe cases, heart failure. At the same time, eating too much salt is also one of the important causes of high blood pressure. Therefore, children who have undergone congenital heart disease surgery must have a lighter diet, and try not to consume foods with high salt content such as pickled products, salted eggs, and salted fish.

2. Avoid eating too much chocolate or other sweets. After heart surgery, when children are unwilling to eat, many parents like to stuff chocolate into their mouths, thinking that this will ensure nutrition. The main ingredients of chocolate are fat and sugar, which is high in calories, but the ratio of protein and fat it contains is very different from the normal needs of children. Eating too much chocolate can easily cause indigestion, constipation and loss of appetite in children. At the same time, chocolate contains ingredients such as caffeine. Excessive consumption will not only make children overly excited and affect their rest, but also have certain adverse effects on their brain development. 3. Avoid drinking too much canned drinks and cold drinks. There are many varieties of canned beverages currently on the market, and many of them are mainly composed of sugar or saccharin, spices, pigments and water, but are often insufficient in nutrition. Children also like to eat cold drinks, but after major surgery, the digestive organs of children are still in the recovery and adjustment stage, and their digestive function is often weak at this time. When too cold food enters the stomach, it will stimulate the contraction of blood vessels in the gastric mucosa and reduce the secretion of gastric juice, affecting the digestion process of food in the gastrointestinal tract; at the same time, it will also weaken the bactericidal ability of the digestive tract and lead to infectious diseases in the gastrointestinal tract. 4. Do not take supplements blindly. Some parents believe that ginseng has a tonic effect, so they give ginseng soup to their children after surgery. Ginseng does have the function of strengthening the heart and body, replenishing qi and promoting salivation, but different ginsengs have different properties. Improper use may cause symptoms such as loss of appetite, nosebleeds, and irritability. There are also some supplements that are not suitable for children during their growth and development period.
