Patient's question:
Pneumonia (Discharged), Umbilical Cord Not Dropped, Green Stool Onset Time: Within the Last Week Test Results: Throat swab test for pneumonia showed normal flora Previous Treatment and Effectiveness: 1. On October 13, admitted to the hospital for pneumonia, X-ray showed pneumonia with thick lung texture. Stayed in the hospital for a week and received penicillin, K1, ceftazidime, ambroxol, vitamin C, and B6. Upon discharge, the doctor tapped and found some wheezing. Currently still hear nasal mucus and fast breathing. What should I do? (Can I continue getting the hepatitis B vaccine at 1 month?) 2. The child was born on September 28 and has not dropped yet. Why? 3. Yesterday, the child had one green stool after feeding, and today had yellow stool that turned green after a while, but the stool was normal in appearance. There is something to prove: The day before yesterday, I "expressed milk," and the doctor prescribed three days of ciprofloxacin, plus hormones because I had a fever four days after giving birth. So far, I occasionally cough; I have also been drinking banlangen or xiao chaihu.Doctor's answer:
The baby's X-ray shows thick lung texture and rapid breathing, confirming that pneumonia is present. However, there was still wheezing upon discharge. Now, in addition to a runny nose and rapid breathing, it proves that the pneumonia did not fully recover before discharge. The treatment course for neonatal pneumonia generally takes 10-14 days to fully recover, but your baby was only treated with medication for 7 days, meaning the pneumonia treatment was not thorough. It is recommended to focus on proper treatment, as otherwise, the child's condition may worsen. If the pneumonia has not fully recovered by the time the baby is one month old, the hepatitis B vaccine cannot be administered. Wait until the baby has fully recovered before getting vaccinated. Delaying the hepatitis B vaccine by a few days is not a problem, as the most important thing now is to ensure the pneumonia treatment is thorough.
