Question
My baby is about three months old and has been hospitalized in an incubator due to underdeveloped lungs. Now, there are symptoms of coughing. I would like to ask the doctor, what are the symptoms of neonatal pneumonia?
Answer
The symptoms of neonatal pneumonia include coughing, nasal congestion, and shortness of breath. Coughing refers to the act of coughing, while nasal congestion is the condition of having a blocked nose, which may be accompanied by wheezing sounds or crying during feeding, making it difficult for the baby to eat smoothly. In addition, the baby may cry continuously due to discomfort, refuse to eat, not open their mouth, and only show signs of crying.
