Can newborn pneumonia be treated with inhalation?

Patient's question:

Recently, the baby doesn't know what's wrong, keeps coughing, seems to have phlegm, but can't spit it out by himself. It looks very sad. Is there any good method? Can newborn pneumonia be treated with a nebulizer?

Doctor's answer:

Pneumonia refers to the inflammation of the terminal airways, alveoli, and interstitial tissues of the lungs. Its symptoms include fever, shortness of breath, persistent dry cough, possible unilateral chest pain, chest pain during deep breathing while coughing, small or large amounts of sputum, and possible congestion. In children with pneumonia, symptoms are often not obvious, and there may be mild coughing or no coughing at all. Don't worry, the duration of typical pneumonia is usually about one to two weeks. It is recommended to take medication promptly, pay attention to thorough recovery, and drink plenty of water. Good luck.
