Patient's question:
When the baby was 16 days old, she had a stuffy nose and a slight cough. The next day, we took her to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said she had mild pneumonia and needed to be hospitalized for treatment. The doctor mentioned there was phlegm, and after 4 days of treatment, the condition showed improvement, but she still needed to continue hospitalization. How long does she need to stay in the hospital before she can be discharged?Doctor's answer:
Newborn pneumonia requires hospital treatment, and the length of stay depends on the severity of the infant's condition. Based on your baby's condition, you should take them to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner. The doctor will adopt different methods according to the severity of the condition and prescribe appropriate medication. The child will recover quickly. The baby's condition is not very serious. Antibiotics have adverse effects on the baby, but they are still necessary if the condition requires it.
