How to treat aspiration pneumonia in babies?

Patient's question:

When the baby was born, it was noticed that she was breathing rapidly. After being transferred to the pediatric department, she was diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia. Initially, oxygen was used to maintain her breathing. After twenty-four hours, the doctor said her condition was critical and a ventilator was inserted. It has now been twenty-two days, 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 aftereffects?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you mentioned, this may be caused by undigested amniotic fluid in the lungs, and 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 recommended that patients balance their nutritional intake in daily life, engage in aerobic exercises to exercise their bodies, and maintain a pleasant mood to enhance their physical fitness and accelerate recovery speed.
