Patient's question:
Does the newborn feel like there is no moisture in their mouth? Is it newborn pneumonia? What are the symptoms? What should be done?Doctor's answer:
From this symptom alone, it cannot be definitively diagnosed as neonatal pneumonia. Pay attention to whether there are symptoms such as coughing, sputum production, rapid breathing, or difficulty breathing. If there are no other abnormal symptoms, it can be temporarily observed. Drinking water in moderation is recommended. For a young child, it is advisable to visit a pediatrician for blood tests and other examinations to assess the specific situation. Based on the results, anti-inflammatory and expectorant medications can be prescribed for treatment. Additionally, it is important to avoid choking on milk and monitor the child's temperature.
