Patient's question:
My baby just coughed for eighteen days after birth, and the hospital said it was pneumonia. She stayed in the hospital for ten days, and today they said it's viral communicable pneumonia. Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
Dear Inquirer,Your baby is 18 days old, still a newborn, and has viral pneumonia, which is quite serious. It is recommended to receive oxygen and actively cooperate with medication treatment. Otherwise, it may be prone to recurring. Breastfeed, and receive vaccinations irregularly. Pay attention to keeping warm.
The above advice is for the question, "Please tell me if my baby coughing at 18 days old is pneumonia?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
