Question
My baby is 11 days old and has a sensation of phlegm in the throat while sleeping at night, is very drowsy during the day, and sometimes breathes rapidly, and occasionally has head breathing. Is this a symptom of neonatal pneumonia?
Answer
Neonatal pneumonia usually presents with symptoms such as rapid breathing, a sensation of phlegm in the throat, and drowsiness during the day. Diagnosis requires a combination of medical history and lung X-ray findings. Neonatal pneumonia is one of the most common serious respiratory diseases in the neonatal period, and early diagnosis and proper treatment are crucial. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery.
