Patient's question:
Doctor, how are you? I would like to ask if a 4-month-old infant with pneumonia is having severe shortness of breath. At the hospital, the doctor provided "nasal cannula oxygen therapy" through one nostril. Now it has been the third day of oxygen therapy, and the infant is receiving oxygen for 24 hours a day. The doctor said the oxygen concentration is 0.5. I have read reports that long-term oxygen therapy is not good for a child's eyes. Could this type of oxygen therapy affect the child's eyes? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello, don't worry, it's not a big deal, your child can't not smoke either.
