Antibiotics are drugs that can kill or inhibit bacteria, but they cannot be used to treat viral infections. Because pneumonia in COVID-19 is caused by virus, antibiotics can't affect it.
At present, the treatment of pneumonia in COVID-19 mainly depends on supportive treatment, including proper oxygen therapy, disease control and adequate fluid intake. If the patient's condition is serious, other special treatment methods may be needed, but there is no specific medicine to cure COVID-19 pneumonia. At present, supportive treatment is mainly used to relieve symptoms and improve the survival rate of patients. The processing method comprises the following steps:
1. Give the patient proper oxygen therapy: If the patient's oxygen content is low, it is necessary to supplement the patient with oxygen with an oxygen delivery machine or a nasopharyngeal mask.
2. Control the disease: The purpose of controlling the disease is to prevent the disease from getting worse and help patients tide over the difficulties. This can be achieved by monitoring the patient's temperature, blood pressure, breathing, heart rate and other physiological parameters.
3. Maintain adequate fluid intake: Patients may be dehydrated and need to replenish enough fluid to keep their body level.
If the patient is seriously ill, it may be necessary to use other special treatment methods, such as artificial respiration machine.
