Patient's question:
Doctor, newborn baby, the hospital said at birth that there was poor lung development, then said pneumonia. After one week of treatment, it disappeared and improved, but after another 10 days of treatment, the hospital said it was a lung infection with Bacillus subtilis. Can this disease be treated?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal pneumonia, due to the immature immune system of infants, can be challenging to treat. Regardless of the bacterial infection, as long as the sensitive antibiotic is identified, treatment is generally effective. However, the bacteria affecting babies tend to be more resistant. According to drug sensitivity tests, the active antibiotic chosen may lead to a longer course of treatment. There is also a possibility of transmitting the bacteria, as each culture may yield different results.
