Question
The child is 20 days old. After receiving 5 days of intravenous drip treatment at Beijing Children’s Hospital and then being sent home to take medication for 3 days, the child recovered. At 47 days old, the child began having diarrhea with 3-4 coughs daily, and today the coughing has become more severe. The child had neonatal pneumonia 20 days ago. Can neonatal pneumonia recur?
Answer
The child’s condition is likely still pneumonia, but it should not be a recurrence of neonatal pneumonia; rather, it’s another respiratory infection. It is recommended to seek treatment at a regular hospital as soon as possible. Additionally, it should be noted not to let adults with colds come into contact with the baby. Most of the time, infants’ illnesses are transmitted by adults. It is suggested that you go to a professional hospital for treatment, where there will be guaranteed safety.
