Question
The parent’s question is: What are the causes of the baby’s jaundice and pneumonia?
Answer
Hello, many infants develop pneumonia due to aspiration of amniotic fluid at birth. Jaundice is one of the common responses in newborns. If the baby is undergoing treatment, the treatment measures should be comprehensive. Blue light therapy is a common method used to treat neonatal jaundice. If drug treatment is ineffective, intravenous medication can be considered. Since neonates have weaker resistance, the recovery time for pneumonia is longer, generally requiring about ten days. During the treatment period, it is recommended that family members take the baby out to bask in the sun more often, which not only helps to supplement calcium but also aids in the recovery from the disease.
