Patient's question:
The baby was born less than a month ago, and it has been diagnosed with pneumonia. I would like to ask what are the symptoms of neonatal pneumonia?Doctor's answer:
Newborn pneumonia is primarily caused by infection. The specific symptoms are as follows:1. Vomiting milk
Most symptoms of newborn pneumonia are vomiting milk. In young infants, pneumonia symptoms may not be obvious. Generally, there is no cough, and if the temperature does not rise, it may still decrease.
2. Breathing rate
When pneumonia occurs, the baby's breathing rate increases significantly; during the newborn period, the breathing rate should not exceed 40 times per minute while sleeping.
3. Face turns purple
When a baby has difficulty breathing, his face turns purple, usually indicating hypoxia. The lips become pale, and the limbs are noticeably cold. Severe pneumonia can cause breathing difficulties in children, making them prone to hypoxia.
