Patient's question:
I had a cesarean section. At 36 weeks and 3 days, I gave birth to a set of dragon and phoenix twins. The boy weighed 3.9 pounds, and the girl weighed 5.1 pounds. The doctor said the children were premature, and the boy had some lung inflammation, so he needed to be in an incubator. Could you please ask the doctor, our children have been in there for a week, why aren't they letting them out yet? How long do we need to keep them in this situation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, preterm infant with pulmonary infection. If it's a pulmonary infection, the treatment usually lasts for 7 to 10 days. Whether the child can be discharged depends on their overall condition. The inflammation needs to show some improvement, lab indicators must be normal, and the milk intake should reach a certain standard. Don't worry too much and try to relax. Try your best to express breast milk to take to the hospital to feed the baby, so the child can recover faster. No matter how good the formula is, it's not as good as breast milk.
