Patient's question:
The baby is almost two months old. Last week, after being hospitalized for pneumonia for five days, he didn't cough up much phlegm except for a little. The doctor said it was okay and he was discharged. After being taken by his great-aunt to play in crowded places, he started coughing up phlegm again on the third day, quite severely. The day before yesterday, I took him to see a doctor and got medicine to take home. Today, I noticed that my baby's poop is a bit green, and after eating, he spits out milk residue and phlegm together. He cries immediately after being put down. Is he getting better or is it more serious?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, pediatric pneumonia is a common and frequently occurring disease that can occur in all four seasons, but it is more prevalent during the cold winter and spring seasons and during sudden changes in weather. The onset can be either sudden or gradual, but it is more commonly acute. Your baby has slightly green stools, which may suggest the possibility of indigestion. It is recommended that you take your baby to the hospital for diagnosis. The above advice is for the question "What should I do about coughing after pediatric pneumonia?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
