Patient's question:
My baby was diagnosed with pneumonia and mild cerebral hypoxia-ischemia when he was over two weeks old. It is estimated that he was sick for about four or five days before it was discovered. Will newborn pneumonia cause sequelae?Doctor's answer:
For neonatal pneumonia, early diagnosis, early treatment, and active treatment should be carried out to curb the progression of the disease. Most neonatal pneumonia can be completely cured through active and effective treatment, leaving no sequelae and will not recur. However, severe pneumonia is accompanied by infection or damage to other organs in the body. If it causes damage to the nervous system, it may leave sequelae.
