Patient's question:
When I first arrived at the hospital, the doctor gave the child oxygen. I didn't understand why the child still needed oxygen when admitted for neonatal pneumonia?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Neonatal pneumonia can be divided into neonatal aspiration pneumonia and neonatal infectious pneumonia according to different causes. The former can be further divided into amniotic fluid aspiration pneumonia, meconium aspiration pneumonia, and milk aspiration pneumonia. Clinically, in addition to the syndrome characterized by airway obstruction and difficulty breathing as the main clinical manifestations, chest X-ray shows prolonged pulmonary inflammatory changes. Pneumonia affects the normal breathing of the lungs, and oxygen supplementation is normal.
