Patient's question:
The baby is over 40 days old, with severe nasal congestion and yellow, a sore throat with phlegm cough, and unstable body temperature around 37°C. At the hospital, after a thorough examination, the doctor tapped and diagnosed it as bronchopneumonia. A chest X-ray came back normal. After three days of hospitalization and intravenous fluids, the symptoms haven't significantly improved. Is this definitely pneumonia, and how many days of intravenous fluids are needed for recovery?Doctor's answer:
Dear consultant,According to your description, if it is pneumonia, it is generally necessary to have intravenous infusion for about two weeks to suppress the condition before conducting a prenatal check-up to see how the condition is progressing. After that, pay attention, and if necessary, have a test for the infectious bacteria.
The above is the advice on the question "What should I do if my baby has severe nasal congestion and yellow-green nasal discharge at 40 days?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
