Question
Is my child’s wet lung issue severe?
Answer
Newborn wet lung is a temporary respiratory distress symptom that often occurs immediately after birth. It shares some similarities with respiratory distress syndrome in newborns and meconium aspiration syndrome, but it predominantly affects full-term infants or those born via cesarean section. Symptoms usually resolve quickly, and the prognosis is good. As long as there are no other underlying conditions, parents should not be overly concerned.
