Question
My child was born 20-plus days ago and has a cough. It’s because her older sister had a cold. We went to the hospital for an X-ray and there were no issues, and the urine test showed no inflammation. The doctor’s examination indicated some pneumonia. I would like to know what effective measures can be taken to help the baby recover quickly?
Answer
Dear inquirer, based on your description, the doctor has diagnosed the baby with pneumonia. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the baby with symptomatic anti-inflammatory treatment. Since the baby is small and has a weak immune system, oral medication may not be effective. It is recommended to admit the baby to the hospital for intravenous treatment for better results. The above suggestions are for the question ‘My child was born 20-plus days ago and has a cough.’ I hope this helps you, and wish you and your family health!
