Patient's question:
My child was just born today, and I feel like my body is gasping for air. The doctor said my baby is breathing too fast and suggested a check-up. The diagnosis was wet lung. I want to know if wet lung is serious for the baby?Doctor's answer:
Infant respiratory distress syndrome, also known as transient tachypnea of the newborn, respiratory distress, or type II respiratory distress syndrome, is a self-limiting condition. The transient respiratory shortness of breath after birth is somewhat similar to infant respiratory distress syndrome and amniotic fluid aspiration syndrome, but it occurs more frequently in full-term infants or those born via cesarean section. Symptoms disappear quickly, and the prognosis is good. The baby's condition is not serious, and there is no need to worry if there are no other underlying diseases.
