Patient's question:
The baby has been coughing once a day since birth, which is 27 days old. There's a slight issue with the throat. After going to the hospital for a check-up, it was found to be pneumonia, or just recently contracted. The baby has been hospitalized for seven days and is still coughing a bit. Can they be discharged? Such a young child needs family members to stay with them, as crying can also interfere with the condition.Doctor's answer:
A newborn with cough went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with pneumonia. They were hospitalized for intravenous drip treatment for a week. Now, the cough is still present, and discharge is not possible without self-recovery. Otherwise, the cough may ease again in two or three days at home. The pneumonia treatment course lasts ten days, so they can stay for a few more days. Discharge should only occur after complete recovery. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if I can hear my baby cough once a day since birth?" and is hoped to be helpful. Wishing you health!
