Question

The baby was born with inhalation pneumonia and later diagnosed with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. How to treat neonatal inhalation pneumonia?

Answer

After the treatment for neonatal inhalation pneumonia, if there are no symptoms such as coughing or shortness of breath, careful observation can be conducted. However, after the symptoms of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy improve, regular follow-ups are required: one check-up 10-14 days after the initial treatment, followed by monthly check-ups, and then once every six months. Parents need to implement special training and rehabilitation treatments at home to promote the recovery of various functions. Patients should develop regular lifestyle habits, persist in treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercises to enhance immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
