Patient's question:
The baby was diagnosed with pneumonia on the second day of birth and was sent to an incubator for treatment. On the third day, I was discharged from the hospital. Now, I am the only one at home taking postpartum care and cannot go to the hospital to see the baby. How long does neonatal pneumonia last?Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend. Generally speaking, neonatal pneumonia can be treated within about a week, but the main issue depends on the baby's condition. If the condition is mild, the recovery time will be short. If the condition is severe, it will definitely take some time. After a baby gets pneumonia, it must be kept warm and avoid catching a cold. If a cold occurs, it is likely to lead to a recurrence of pneumonia, so it is essential to take it seriously.
