What are the treatments for neonatal pneumonia?

Patient's question:

The baby was born with neonatal pneumonia. After treatment, the pneumonia improved, but dry cough and nasal congestion have persisted for over a month. A follow-up examination revealed coarse lung sounds. I would like to ask if this condition is still serious and how to deal with the cough and nasal congestion?

Doctor's answer:

No problem, newborns have sensitive stomachs because their digestive systems are not yet fully developed. My daughter was like a high-pressure water gun at one month old—she could spray a full meter away! Buy some small medications for the baby. Lactase is specifically designed for newborns who cannot digest milk. (It's very cheap. Because my mother was recommended by the hospital to buy this after retirement!) There are also children's probiotic tablets, filial piety mother tablets, and probiotics (pharmacies will definitely push you to buy probiotics, but personally, I don't think probiotics are very good) and soups for the mother should have the oil skimmed off, because if the mother eats too much oil, the baby will have diarrhea. Fruits should not be eaten in excess!
