for which age group and in what situation and signs of pneumonia we give IV crystalline penicillin as treatment of pneumonia
IV crystalline penicillin is typically used as a treatment for pneumonia in children and adults who are hospitalized with severe or complicated pneumonia. Signs of pneumonia that may warrant IV crystalline penicillin treatment include high fever, severe cough, difficulty breathing, chest pain, and signs of respiratory distress.
IV crystalline penicillin may also be used as a first-line treatment in patients who have a known sensitivity to other antibiotics or who have a specific bacterial strain that is susceptible to penicillin. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the best treatment approach for each individual patient.
