Patient's question:
My baby is now three months old. Recently, for about half a month, there has always been foam in her mouth. At night, there is a sound in her throat, as if there is phlegm, along with swallowing movements. Her eyes are slightly closed, her breathing is uneven, and her head shakes back and forth. Occasionally, there are a few coughs. Breastfeeding is fine, but sometimes she cries and is restless. She doesn't have a fever. Could it be pneumonia?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it should be pneumonia. Small infants may not have a fever, so it is recommended to use antiviral drugs and antibiotics for treatment. It's still best to go to the hospital for treatment, as the condition of a child this age can change rapidly. There are many factors that can affect the pediatric respiratory system. If the child is confirmed to have a respiratory system issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
