Question
A three-and-a-half-month-old baby is showing signs of heavy breathing and snoring during sleep, with the throat seemingly filled with mucus. The baby has been taking Ikensin medication. The parents are worried whether this could be a symptom of pneumonia.
Answer
Based on the description, it is recommended that the parents take the baby to the hospital for a chest X-ray. Since infants have weaker constitutions and their conditions can change rapidly, pneumonia cannot be ruled out. The issue of the baby’s snoring should be given sufficient attention, and appropriate treatment should be administered under a doctor’s guidance. Maintaining a reasonable diet and a cheerful mood is also important for the baby’s recovery.
