Doctor's answer:

The treatment for newborn respiratory distress can use these two specific methods: naloxone can be used at 5-10 mg, or epinephrine at 0.05-0.1 mg. However, it is recommended that these should be implemented under the guidance of a doctor. For newborn respiratory distress, a decline in the condition should be addressed by cleaning the respiratory tract. If the child cannot breathe correctly, a little positive pressure oxygen can be given. If it doesn't work, a personal artificial airway can be created, and oxygen can be administered through a tracheal tube in such cases.
