How is neonatal adenovirus pneumonia treated? Is it serious?

Patient's question:

A 28-day-old infant with cough and hiccups was taken to the hospital's neonatal department, where they were diagnosed with pneumonia. On the third day, it was determined to be adenovirus. The child's globulin level was only 4. How did this adenovirus come about?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the child is not very big. If there is viral pneumonia, it is a quite serious condition. It is suggested to focus on hospitalization for treatment. Such diseases are usually caused by respiratory infections or insufficient immunity. Detailed examination and active treatment are necessary. Additionally, the patient needs to maintain a regular routine, prevent cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ventilate frequently, and drink more hot water.
