Question

How to treat a newborn with aspiration pneumonia?

Answer

The child has mild brain hypoxia, which will gradually improve with medication and oxygen therapy. Some newborns delivered vaginally may experience physiological hypoxic encephalopathy, but timely treatment usually leaves no sequelae and there is no need to worry excessively. Aspiration pneumonia requires patience in medication. During the treatment period, patients should maintain regular eating and sleeping habits, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate mental and physical health, maintain hygiene, and avoid bacterial infections due to decreased immunity.
