Question
My baby was born with neonatal pneumonia. After treatment, the pneumonia has improved, but dry cough and nasal congestion have persisted for over a month. The recheck said there were rough lung respiratory sounds. I want to know if this condition is still serious with pneumonia. What should I do about the cough and nasal congestion?
Answer
No need to worry. Newborns have weak stomachs due to an imperfect digestive system. My daughter at one month old acted like a high-pressure water gun. She could shoot out a meter! Get some medicine for the baby. Lactase is specially designed for newborns who cannot digest milk. (It’s very cheap. Because after my mom retired, the hospital recommended buying this one! Also, children’s lactobacillus tablets, filial piety mother tablets, probiotics (pharmacies will definitely let you buy probiotics. But personally, probiotics are not very good), and the soup that mothers drink is best to skim off the oil in the soup. Because if mothers eat too much oil, the baby will have diarrhea. Don’t eat too much fruit!
