What methods can alleviate neonatal aspiration pneumonia?

Patient's question:

Sometimes the child seems to breathe rather rapidly, and it sounds like there's phlegm in their throat. What are some ways to alleviate aspiration pneumonia in newborns?

Doctor's answer:

Neonatal pneumonia itself is a serious illness, and if it worsens, it can be life-threatening. Additionally, the child's indirect bilirubin level reaching 457 indicates severe jaundice, which could potentially harm the brain and is also a serious condition.
For aspiration pneumonia in newborns, active anti-inflammatory treatment is required. For such high jaundice levels, in addition to active blue light therapy to reduce jaundice, additional detoxification treatment may also be necessary.
The patient should develop a regular sleep and lifestyle routine, adhere to treatment, and maintain a light diet while engaging in aerobic exercise to boost the immune system and reduce the risk of illness.
