What is the situation of newborn pneumonia choking on milk?

Patient's question:

My baby has newborn pneumonia and always chokes on milk. What should I do? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to help you with your question: When feeding, pay attention to your posture. If you feel the milk is coming too quickly and the baby is choking, quickly pull out the nipple and let them rest. Observe the degree of jaundice in the newborn's skin. If it's only on the face, it's mild jaundice; if it's on the trunk, it's moderate jaundice; if it also appears on the limbs and palms/soles, check bilirubin and liver function tests. Hospitalization may be necessary for treatment if needed.
