Patient's question:
Sometimes the child seems to breathe rather quickly, and it sounds like there's phlegm in their throat. What are the symptoms of aspiration pneumonia in newborns?Doctor's answer:
It could be a slight upper respiratory infection. Otherwise, there would be no phlegm. I suggest taking your child for a thorough examination. Whether it's pneumonia is uncertain at this point and depends on the results of the detailed check-up. Generally, if the child is alert and feeding normally, there is no need to worry. Change the diaper and then offer some plain water, frequently pat the back, and change positions.During treatment, the patient should follow a balanced diet, maintain regular routines, actively participate in physical exercise, and regulate physical and mental health while keeping personal hygiene to avoid infections due to weakened immunity.
