Question
Infants with pneumonia often experience coughing up milk. How should it be handled, and is immediate medical attention required?
Answer
For infants with pneumonia who are experiencing coughing up milk, it is recommended to pay special attention to feeding posture. If you observe that milk is flowing too quickly, causing the baby to show signs of coughing up milk, immediately stop feeding and allow the baby to rest and observe their condition. Additionally, closely monitor the extent of neonatal jaundice. Mild jaundice is limited to the face, moderate jaundice extends to the trunk, and if jaundice appears in the limbs and palms of the hands and feet, a bilirubin and liver function test is necessary. In necessary cases, consider hospitalization to ensure the baby’s health.
