What are the clinical manifestations of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome?

Patient's question:

When the child was born, it wasn't very good, but now I don't know what to do. What are the symptoms of this disease?

Doctor's answer:

Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome involves damage to the neonatal pulmonary surfactant, which is caused by a lack of pulmonary surfactant, alveolar expansion, progressive respiratory distress, cyanosis, grunting, irregular breathing, intermittent, pale or bluish-purple skin color, low muscle tone, nasal flaring, low breath sounds, and secondary pulmonary infection. It is recommended to consult a pediatrician for diagnosis and treatment, follow the doctor's guidance, use medication reasonably, and recover as soon as possible. Hospitalization is necessary. If the child has a good immune system, he may be discharged within a week.
