How to treat aspiration pneumonia in babies?

Patient's question:

When the baby was born, it was discovered that she was breathing rapidly. After being transferred to the pediatric department, she was diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia. Initially, she was kept on oxygen support, but after twenty-four hours, the doctor said her condition was critical and inserted a ventilator. Now, twenty-two days have passed, and there has been no news from the hospital. How many more days do we have to wait in this situation? Will the baby have any sequelae?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you mentioned, this may be caused by undigested amniotic fluid in the lungs. It is recommended to seek timely treatment. You can visit the respiratory department of a local hospital to have it checked. Pay close attention and consult a doctor for timely treatment.
It is advised that patients should maintain a balanced nutritional intake in daily life, engage in aerobic exercises to strengthen their bodies, and keep a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and accelerate recovery.
