Question

When a newborn is diagnosed with respiratory distress syndrome, parents are concerned about the possibility of cure, whether the child can be normal after treatment without any sequelae, and also want to know the approximate cost of treatment for this condition.

Answer

Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome is a severe condition, but with systematic and standardized treatment, there is a high chance of improvement. For newborns diagnosed with respiratory distress syndrome, immediate respiratory support treatment should be provided in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and treatment with surfactant should be administered. If treatment is timely and there is no prolonged hypoxia, the risk of sequelae can be significantly reduced. As for the cost of treatment, it will depend on the specific treatment plan and the billing standards of the healthcare facility.
