Tips to help you distinguish between colds and pneumonia in children: Pneumonia in children is characterized by acute onset, severe illness, and rapid progression. It is a common disease that threatens children's health. But at the same time, it is very similar to the symptoms of children's colds and can be easily confused.

How to distinguish them?

You can start with “one test, two look, three listen”.

1. "Measurement" means measuring body temperature first: children suffering from pneumonia are mostly accompanied by fever, and most of them are above 38℃ and last for 2-3 days. Even if antipyretics are used, the fever can only subside temporarily and then recur. Children also have fever when they have a cold, but it lasts for a shorter period of time, and using antipyretic drugs to control body temperature is more effective.

2. “Look” mainly refers to the following aspects:

(1) Observe the coughing and breathing conditions. Pneumonia in children often presents with severe coughing or wheezing, which is severe and can cause breathing difficulties. Coughing or wheezing caused by colds and bronchitis is usually mild and does not cause breathing difficulties.

(2) Look at your diet. When children have pneumonia, they have a poor appetite, do not like to eat, do not want to drink milk, and often cry and are restless. When children have a cold, their diet is basically normal, or they eat and drink slightly less.
