Question
The baby is just over one month old and initially just had a cough and runny nose. The family thought it was just a cold, but the cold didn’t improve and got worse. The cough became more severe, and vomiting and fever started. It wasn’t until they went to the hospital that they found out it was pneumonia. So, I’d like to ask, can neonatal pneumonia leave sequelae?
Answer
Hello, friend, you should still take your child to the hospital for treatment promptly. There are many types of neonatal pneumonia, but whichever type it is, it is very dangerous for your baby. Pneumonia should be diagnosed and treated early, and should be treated actively. Most infant pneumonias can be completely cured through active and effective treatment without leaving any sequelae. I suggest you follow the doctor’s advice.
