Patient's question:
My child just turned 9 days old. On the second day of birth, we noticed occasional groaning sounds. Each time they feed, they seem to struggle for breath. The doctor said it's pneumonia and requires isolation treatment. Is isolation treatment necessary for newborn pneumonia? Is traditional Chinese medicine helpful?Doctor's answer:
Hello, neonatal pneumonia is relatively easy to be complicated with heart failure, so it is still recommended to isolate the treatment to avoid cross-infection. Traditional Chinese medicine does have an effect, and the best approach is a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. It is suggested that you take Ji Nei Jin Powder orally. Pay attention to your diet. The test results indicate elevated transaminase levels. It is recommended to do the hepatitis B five-item test, hepatitis C antibody test, and liver and gallbladder ultrasound examination to further clarify the diagnosis. At the same time, strictly avoid alcohol, avoid taking liver-damaging drugs, avoid overexertion, and maintain a good mood.
