Patient's question:
A baby born half a month ago has had excessive drool for ten days, bubbles, and both breast milk and drool are abundant. Sometimes it burps, occasionally coughs, and has normal bowel movements. Feeding takes over an hour.Doctor's answer:
Such babies should be watched for neonatal pneumonia. It's best to take them to a local hospital and have the doctor perform a physical examination. Under normal circumstances, children will not breastfeed for such a long time; only those with weak sucking will. The main characteristics of neonatal pneumonia are spitting bubbles, coughing, and weak feeding. Don't be nervous, just be attentive. If a baby has pneumonia during the neonatal period, they should be hospitalized immediately for intravenous treatment.
