Answer
Neonatal pneumonia encompasses various types, related to the type of infection, including viral and bacterial infections. Based on the current symptoms, it may be related to infectious pneumonia. Generally, bacterial infections heal within 1-2 weeks. Neonatal pneumonia is not a contagious disease, so isolation treatment is not required.
