Patient's question:
My son is 33 days old and has never had a high fever or cough! How could he have pneumonia? White blood cells: 17.56! Is this number very serious?Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help you need: I want to know if this situation doesn't require hospital treatment.
Doctor's answer:
Pediatric pneumonia is a common and frequently occurring disease, which can occur in all four seasons, but is more prevalent during the cold winter and spring seasons and during sudden changes in weather. The onset can be either acute or gradual, but it is more commonly acute, often resulting from the extension of upper respiratory infections and bronchitis. It can also be secondary to respiratory infectious diseases such as measles and whooping cough. This condition poses a significant threat to children's health and generally requires intravenous fluid treatment. Fosfomycin may be a possible option to consider. The above advice is for the question "Is hospitalization necessary if neonatal pneumonia is not very serious?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
