What to do about nasal congestion after newborn pneumonia discharge?

Patient's question:

I was hospitalized for nine days due to pneumonia and umbilical inflammation. After discharge, I have a stuffy nose, nasal discharge, and vomiting milk with phlegm in it. I keep wanting to eat milk when I'm not sleeping. Does anyone know what's going on? How should I deal with a stuffy nose after being discharged from the hospital with neonatal pneumonia?

Doctor's answer:

It should be that the mother's breast milk is not very sufficient, and it must be that the baby is not full. If the baby is full, the baby will not cry. Additionally, the fact that milk can be squeezed out every time the baby eats does not mean that the milk is sufficient. Even if the milk is a little bit less, the baby can squeeze out more milk after finishing eating. The mother should drink more soup. If it is a stuffy nose, you can let the child lie down and put a few drops of milk into the nose (it doesn't matter if it drips). After moistening for a while, use a baby cotton swab to slowly twist it in and out. It will be better in a while.
