Patient's question:
The child of my cousin has recently been feeling unwell. How is neonatal pneumonia treated? What should be the treatment approach?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Your baby may have a respiratory infection caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, which could be the main cause of pneumonia. Drinking more water is beneficial for infants with jaundice as it helps in the excretion of bilirubin and promotes the resolution of jaundice, but it doesn't necessarily have to be glucose water; plain drinking water can also be used. Feeding infants glucose water is beneficial for reducing jaundice mainly because it promotes the excretion of bilirubin.
