Does newborn pneumonia affect hospitalization treatment from birth?

Patient's question:

My child was born two days ago. When they were born, their complexion was good, but their hands and feet were pale. The nurse said it was nothing, that it was because they were in the amniotic fluid that their hands and feet turned pale. After half a day, their hands and feet returned to their normal red color. On the first day of birth, we noticed the baby often spat bubbles, didn't cry much, didn't eat much milk, and liked to sleep. But their complexion was good, their heartbeat was regular, and there was no bluish discoloration. The doctor and we didn't notice it until the second day when we discovered the baby often spat bubbles and suspected pneumonia. We immediately admitted them to the hospital for treatment.

Doctor's answer:

Mild infections can be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. For cough or phlegm, you can take Fresh Bamboo Juice Oral Liquid or Xia'er Mahagan Granules for treatment. In severe cases, intravenous infusion is recommended. It is also necessary to be alert to mycoplasma infections. If mycoplasma infection is suspected, intravenous erythromycin injection or oral azithromycin dry suspension should be used. Rest is important. If there is fever, use antipyretic drugs for symptomatic treatment.
