Question

The newborn has pneumonia with a normal temperature but hoarseness, and it seems to have phlegm. Is this a symptom of pneumonia? The temperature is normal, and I’m not sure how to handle it.

Answer

The characteristics of newborn pneumonia typically include rapid breathing, cyanosis, and decreased appetite. However, if the only symptom is hoarseness with a normal temperature, it may be laryngitis or due to other reasons. It is recommended to adopt an active anti-inflammatory treatment and ensure adequate hydration. Wishing the baby health.
