Patient's question:
My friend's baby was diagnosed with neonatal pneumonia, with phlegm. They started receiving oxygen on the second day of hospitalization, but by the third day, there was still no improvement. My friend, who is a mom, really wants to ask those who understand, how long will it take for the condition to improve? She is very worried.Doctor's answer:
Most cases of children's pneumonia develop from colds (upper respiratory infections) after a cold, so recurrence prevention is important. Children should stay warm and breathe fresh air. Smoking should be prohibited indoors. During cold seasons, it is essential to maintain a proper room temperature while ensuring ventilation. When children are just recovering from illness, their immunity is weak. At home, extra care should be taken to avoid choking, keep the indoor air circulating, and avoid close contact with cold patients. Pay attention to keeping warm.
