Question
What is the treatment method for neonatal pneumonia, and how long does the treatment take?
Answer
Your baby has been hospitalized for four days now, and they have phlegm in their throat, uneven breathing, and a slight cough. They are currently receiving treatment for neonatal pneumonia in the hospital. Is there a faster way to accelerate the treatment, and how many more days will it take? Hi there, your baby is now 20 days old and belongs to a group with weaker resistance. Coughing and phlegm are not necessarily signs of diagnosing neonatal pneumonia. Generally speaking, neonates with mild pneumonia may not exhibit coughing symptoms. Since infants have difficulty expectorating, the recovery of inflammation is slower, leading to a longer treatment period. Typically, the treatment for mild neonatal pneumonia takes 7-10 days. In cases of severe pneumonia with complications, the treatment duration is relatively longer. We hope your baby can receive complete treatment in the hospital, arrange rest and diet reasonably, enhance resistance, and recover as soon as possible. If you have any other questions, please consult the doctor at the hospital. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery!
