Patient's question:
If there are children at home, how to determine if the child is infected with pneumonia, so I want to ask what are the symptoms of neonatal pneumonia?Doctor's answer:
The onset of neonatal pneumonia typically occurs 3 days after birth and is usually characterized by shallow breathing, shortness of breath (up to 60 breaths per minute), bluish lips, breast rejection, asphyxia, foaming at the mouth, nasal flaring, and inspiratory retractions, as well as low responsiveness. Due to underdeveloped lungs in newborns, coughing symptoms may not appear when they have pneumonia, and fever is also rare. Some children may exhibit symptoms of upper respiratory infections, such as nasal congestion and runny nose.
