Question
The newborn showed signs of fatigue and a temporary decrease in heart rate during the birthing process. After receiving oxygen therapy and intervention from a neonatologist, they recovered to normal. Subsequently, they were treated with warming and tube suction. In such a situation, how should neonatal pneumonia be treated?
Answer
Respiratory pneumonia may occur due to hypoxia during the birthing process in newborns. Since the symptoms of newborns may be unobtrusive, they may not be noticeable until they are a bit older. The causes of cerebral palsy may include birth injuries, neonatal jaundice, brain hypoxia, or preterm birth. The main symptoms may include increased muscle tone, difficulty with abduction, and in severe cases, muscle rigidity, convulsions, and maintaining a flexed joint posture. Mild symptoms may include poor hand dexterity and the inability to touch the heel of the foot when walking. In addition, patients may have language development and articulation disorders, strabismus, and about one-third of patients may have varying degrees of seizures and intellectual disabilities. Cerebral palsy can lead to delayed motor development, such as not being active by three months after birth,
