Patient's question:
The baby was just born yesterday, and when she was born, the sound of air escaping from her nostrils was a bit rough. After resting for a while, there were no abnormalities. When she woke up, she felt like there was something in her throat and nose when she breathed. She was diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia upon discharge from the hospital! In the afternoon, she was directly admitted to the intensive care unit. A chest X-ray confirmed that the shadows of the heart and lungs overlapped. How long does this illness usually take to heal?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, there is a case of neonatal aspiration pneumonia, which should be treated in the hospital. It is suggested that, under normal circumstances, recovery can be complete within ten to fifteen days, and there will be no after-effects after the illness. Moreover, the patient should develop a good habit of regular daily routines, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise to enhance their immunity and reduce the risk of illness. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
