2nd November (Today) is World Pneumonia Day. This is the reason why I am showing the interest to write something about this disease. Save you child from Pneumonia. Pneumonia is preventable and Treatable.
Early diagnosis and appropriate case management by rational use of Antibiotics is the most effective intervention to prevent deaths due to pneumonia. Delay in seeking medical attention is dangerous. It puts the child at risks.
Look for the first Signs: Fever, Cough and Fast breathing (pasli chalna) in a child is a sign of Pneumonia. Take the child to the nearest health center or hospital.
Look for Danger Signs: Inability to feed, Lethargy, Breathing Trouble (Head Nodding), grunting in a child with fever and cough are dangerous signs. Seek medical care immediately.
Use warm Clothes to cover children during winter. Keep newborn babies especially wrapped with warm clothes during all seasons. Protect your children from Smoke (from Angithi, Stove, Tobacco etc). Hand washing is the best prevention for many diseases including Pneumonia.
