Taking traditional Chinese medicine has provided some relief. I want to get better, please ask how to take care of neonatal pneumonia better?Doctor's answer:
Nursing care for newborn pneumonia is also very important. In terms of care, it is first necessary to pay attention to the environment. Regarding the environment, the indoor air should be ventilated frequently. Next, the indoor temperature should generally be maintained at 24 to 26 degrees Celsius, with humidity kept at 60%. Additionally, it is important to maintain the patency of the respiratory tract. This means that for some patients, there may be nasal crusts in their noses, and these crusts need to be cleaned. Also, attention should be paid to the feeding position. The feeding position generally adopts a head-up position, with the upper body elevated, to prevent aspiration during feeding. Furthermore, (atomization therapy) of the airway can be used, where some medications can be administered to moisten the airway. After moistening, percussion can be performed, which helps in the expectoration of phlegm.
