Patient's question:
My baby unfortunately got pneumonia. But he has been hospitalized for a week. The family is very worried. Especially my wife, who is crying all day. But I asked the doctor. The doctor said the condition is already improving. I don't know when he can be discharged. I am also very worried.Doctor's answer:
Neonatal pneumonia is typically characterized by rapid breathing, coughing, foamy sputum, reduced milk intake, and thickened lung sounds and respiratory sounds. Chest X-rays show thickened lung and patchy shadows. Neonatal pneumonia is usually treated with anti-infection therapy. The treatment cycle is typically about two weeks. If your baby coughs and has phlegm, you need to gently pat your baby's back to help expel the phlegm.
