Why is the baby's breathing a bit heavy on the fifth day of birth?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, the child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please explain why the baby's breathing sounds a bit heavy on the fifth day of birth?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, Azithromycin can be used for treatment. If the effect is not good, a drug sensitivity test can be conducted, and then a sensitive antibiotic should be chosen for treatment. Generally, three months of negative tests indicate a cure.
The effect of antipyretic drugs is only temporary, and overuse can significantly reduce the baby's immunity. Additionally, it's best to minimize intravenous injections, as they can more easily damage the baby's own immunity. A fever below 38.5°C is generally harmless to the baby, so it is recommended to use physical methods as much as possible. You can apply Bingbing fever-reducing patches to the baby's forehead to lower the temperature.
Traditional antipyretic drugs are taken orally and absorbed through the stomach, regulating the body's physiological functions to achieve the purpose of cooling. The drug components reach the five internal organs and six fu organs. In contrast, Bingbing fever-reducing patches are external (adhesive patches) applied to the surface of the body, completely using a physical method for cooling. This avoids the first-pass effect of the liver.
