Question
How can newborn pneumonia be treated without hospitalization? What medications are recommended?
Answer
It is recommended that newborns with pneumonia be hospitalized for treatment, as their respiratory organs and functions are not yet fully mature. Failure to receive immediate treatment may lead to severe complications, including respiratory failure, heart failure, sepsis, and even life-threatening situations. Common symptoms of pneumonia include fever, cough, and difficulty breathing, and in some cases, severe coughing and asthma can occur even without fever. Medications should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
