How is newborn infectious pneumonia treated when isolated?

Patient's question:

The newborn has only been out for a month and already has a fever and pneumonia. When taken to the hospital for examination, it was diagnosed as infectious pneumonia, and it turns out that isolation is required. Does anyone know how to treat newborns with infectious pneumonia who are isolated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Pneumonia in children is the most common respiratory disease among them, occurring in all four seasons. Infants under the age of three are more prone to pneumonia during winter and spring. If the treatment is not thorough, it can easily lead to repeated episodes and cause various severe complications. According to symptoms, it is generally recommended to administer intravenous drip medication for antiviral and symptomatic treatment. When nasal congestion is severe, a warm, damp towel can be used to place near the nostrils, gently blowing the nose, which can help reduce nasal mucosal edema and alleviate nasal congestion symptoms. Specific recommendations should be combined with the diagnosis and treatment provided by local hospitals.
