Patient's question:
My best friend called me and said her sister gave birth to a cute, chubby baby. Unfortunately, the doctors at the hospital discovered that the baby has pulmonary surfactant deficiency disease, and she is very upset. She has been seeking treatment everywhere. I want to ask, what is the treatment for pulmonary surfactant deficiency disease in infants?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this parent. The baby suffers from pulmonary surfactant deficiency disease, also known as respiratory distress syndrome in infants. It is mainly caused by a lack of pulmonary surfactant, but as lung development gradually improves, it will gradually recover. So don't worry too much. Surfactant disease can be treated. The main treatment method is to administer hormone drugs to help their baby mature as soon as possible. The key to prognosis is the effectiveness of later treatment.
