Patient's question:
I would like to inquire about this. My baby was coughing after 16 days of birth. There was phlegm in her throat. Suddenly, she had difficulty breathing while feeding. The hospital diagnosed her with infectious pneumonia. How is infectious pneumonia treated in newborns? What should I pay attention to daily?Doctor's answer:
Hello. I am very happy to answer for you: In the early stage of neonatal pneumonia. The sick child only suffers from reduced or no milk intake, restlessness or no fever. Then they suffer from more typical symptoms. Such as shortness of breath, spitting foam, bluish gums, etc. At this time. They should be hospitalized immediately. The clinical manifestations of neonatal pneumonia are not typical. Therefore, the possibility of this disease should be considered. And timely treatment should be given to the patient's milk discharge, purple complexion, spitting foam, or coughing and shortness of breath after eating.
