Question

My cousin’s child has been feeling unwell recently. How is neonatal pneumonia treated? How should it be treated?

Answer

Hello, based on the situation, the child may have a respiratory infection caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, which could be the main cause of pneumonia. It is recommended to give the child plenty of water to promote the disappearance of jaundice, using plain boiled water for feeding. Drinking glucose water can also help reduce jaundice as it promotes the excretion of bilirubin. For treating neonatal pneumonia, the specific duration of hospitalization and cost can vary depending on individual circumstances. It is advisable to consult a doctor for more detailed information.
