Patient's question:
Baby sister's baby just gave birth, and she has pneumonia these days. I wonder if neonatal pneumonia is the same as a cold, sometimes it can heal on its own without treatment?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Childhood pneumonia refers to inflammation of the lungs, which is related to bacterial infections, viral infections, etc. The main symptoms include cough, sputum production, fever, and difficulty breathing. On auscultation, alveolar bubbling sounds can be heard, and chest X-rays show lung inflammation. Treatment mainly involves controlling the infection and symptomatic supportive therapy. In addition to intravenous fluid therapy, aerosol inhalation therapy can also be combined. The specific treatment method should be determined based on symptoms and manifestations. It generally does not heal on its own.
