How to deal with pneumonia in a 29-day-old baby?

Patient's question:

A 29-day-old baby with pneumonia stayed in an incubator for 11 days before being discharged. There's still some mucus in their throat, and they're making rattling sounds. Three days after coming home, the baby isn't sleeping much, feeding very slowly, and isn't eating much at night, with some vomiting. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

To maintain fresh indoor air at all times, open windows frequently for ventilation. Open the windows at least twice a day for 20 minutes each time, which can help reduce the risk of respiratory infections. The indoor temperature and humidity should be comfortable, with a room temperature of about 22-25 degrees Celsius and a humidity of 50%-60%.
Lastly, let the child stay away from public places as much as possible, especially during cold season. Avoid taking them to crowded public places like shopping malls or convenience stores, and never visit sick people to prevent cross-infection. The child needs to be gradually nursed back to health to avoid catching a cold.
