Question
Dear doctor, my baby was born prematurely at 7 months and a few days old, weighing 2.8 pounds at birth. The doctor said her lungs were not well developed and did not support her, and also said that the retina and brain were not well developed. What should we do?
Answer
Based on the situation you described, the symptoms are indeed quite severe. It is recommended that you prepare yourself mentally and take care of your own health. Since the child is small, they may require medication to promote lung maturation. The current condition of the child is best understood by your attending physician, so it is suggested to communicate the condition promptly and cooperate with the doctor’s treatment. I hope this can help you. Wishing you a happy life.
