Patient's question:
The baby has been born for less than a month. Last night, the baby's face turned red and had difficulty breathing. The baby also refused to eat milk. The doctor at the hospital said it was pneumonia. How long does it take to treat newborn pneumonia? Will there be any aftereffects?Doctor's answer:
Hello, neonatal pneumonia usually lasts for about 7 days. At this time, there are no other complications. If accompanied by heart failure, respiratory failure, or other diseases or complications, the course of treatment will be longer. It can last for 7-14 days or even longer. Of course, the specific condition of each newborn also varies depending on the environment. There are also factors such as drug sensitivity, individual differences, and whether overall development is perfect.
