Question
The baby is 12 months old and showing poor mental state, possibly ill. What are the symptoms of neonatal pneumonia?
Answer
Neonatal pneumonia may manifest as symptoms such as nasal congestion, shortness of breath, labored breathing, and vomiting of white foam. The symptoms are not typical and require a comprehensive judgment based on medical history. Typically, newborns do not cough, and if coughing occurs, it is still advisable to seek medical attention. Timely medical treatment is crucial to prevent the baby from developing pneumonia. When seeking medical attention, pay attention to whether medication is needed, and during burping after feeding, be mindful to prevent vomiting rather than coughing.
