Patient's question:
My baby got pneumonia just a week after birth. We've been in the hospital for nine days already. When we first went in, there was no phlegm, but now there is. We want to be discharged. Is that possible?Doctor's answer:
The phenomenon of phlegm that you mentioned in the child may be due to the possibility that the child has not yet fully recovered from pneumonia. It is recommended that you do not rush to discharge the child from the hospital. Intravenous treatment for a few days will be quite effective. During the treatment period, cooperate with each other to give the child inhalation therapy with a nebulizer, and the symptom of excessive phlegm in the child will gradually improve. Do not rush to discharge the child. Gradually carry out nursing care and treatment until there is no phlegm before planning to discharge.
