Question
My baby is 20 days old. They were diagnosed with newborn pneumonia after a hospital check-up and were discharged after six days of treatment. After discharge, the baby still has a stuffy nose, sneezes, sleeps restlessly, and easily wakes up. How should I handle the situation after being discharged from newborn pneumonia?
Answer
After being discharged from newborn pneumonia, it is especially important to pay attention to the following points: 1. Parents should administer medication under the guidance of a doctor and should not take medication arbitrarily. 2. If your child has a cold or cough and exhibits one or more of the following conditions, you should seek medical attention promptly: breathing faster than usual, over 60 times per minute (for infants under 2 months old), 50 times per minute (for children aged 2-12 months), or 40 times per minute (for children aged 1-4 years); loud breathing sounds; intermittent breathing; chest Depression when inhaling; winged scapulae; making gurgling sounds; unable to drink any liquids; choking when drinking; and the skin turns blue or purple. 3. Early spring is flu season. Try to avoid taking your child to public places as much as possible.
