Is the problem of neonatal hyaline membrane disease significant?

Patient's question:

The issue of your child's wet lung must be taken seriously. My child was just born today, and the doctor said that her breathing was rapid. It was diagnosed as wet lung. Please ask, how serious is the wet lung in children?

Doctor's answer:

Neonatal hyaline membrane disease, also known as transient tachypnea of the newborn or type II respiratory distress syndrome, is a self-limiting condition. Brief respiratory distress occurs after birth. It is slightly similar to neonatal respiratory distress syndrome and amniotic fluid aspiration syndrome. However, it is more common in full-term infants or infants born via cesarean section. Symptoms disappear quickly. The prognosis is good. The baby's condition is not serious. If there are no other diseases, there is no need to worry.
