Patient's question:
Hello! My son is 18 days old. Today, he was checked at the children's hospital and diagnosed with pneumonia. The doctor said it's best to be hospitalized for treatment. Could you please tell me how long it usually takes to stay in the hospital, what causes neonatal pneumonia, how much it costs to be hospitalized, and whether it will leave any?Doctor's answer:
Pneumonia is a common and frequently occurring disease in children, which can occur all year round but is more prevalent during the cold seasons of winter and spring, as well as during sudden changes in weather. The onset of this disease can be rapid or slow, but acute cases are more common, primarily due to the spread of upper respiratory infections and bronchitis. It can also be secondary to respiratory infectious diseases, such as measles and whooping cough. This disease poses a significant threat to children's health and usually requires intravenous treatment. Fosfomycin can be tried. Hospitalization costs are generally around 4,000 yuan, and discharge is usually possible after about two weeks.
