Patient's question:
The baby is almost two years old. In the past few days, it has had a poor appetite and not been in very good spirits. I initially thought it was a cold and didn't take it seriously. Later, when the medicine didn't help, I took it to the hospital, and the result was pneumonia. Could you please tell me what the early symptoms of neonatal pneumonia are? How should I take care of it on a daily basis?Doctor's answer:
At an early stage, children may exhibit reduced milk intake or no milk intake, restlessness or no increase in body temperature, followed by rapid breathing, foaming at the mouth, and blue hair around the mouth. Severe pneumonia may lead to difficulty breathing, cyanosis of the face, mouth, and lips, milk discharge, abdominal distension, and even heart failure and respiratory failure.
