Patient's question:
My aunt gave birth to a child in the hospital. Because this child has congenital developmental insufficiency, it is a premature baby. It was born after only 7 and a half months. Therefore, she now has some difficulty breathing on her own. I would like to ask how oxygen therapy should be performed for premature babies?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Children born prematurely for more than 7 months may experience breathing difficulties. This rules out the possibility of hypoxia. However, it does not rule out the possibility of suffering from other diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to promptly go to the neonatal department of a local public 3A hospital or a children's specialized hospital for disease diagnosis and treatment. Based on the examination results, it is necessary to decide whether oxygen therapy is needed. If necessary, hospitalization for systematic treatment is required.
