Patient's question:
Sometimes the child seems to breathe rather rapidly, and there seems to be phlegm in the throat. What are the symptoms of aspiration pneumonia in newborns?Doctor's answer:
It could be that your child has a slight upper respiratory infection, otherwise they wouldn't have phlegm. I suggest taking your child for a thorough examination. It's still uncertain whether it's pneumonia at this point; it depends on the results of the detailed check-up. Generally, if your child is still in good spirits and eating normally, there's no need to worry. After changing the diaper, give them some boiled water, and frequently pat their back while changing their position. During the treatment period, the patient should maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular routine, actively engage in physical exercise, regulate their physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
