Question
My baby is a 36-week premature, and today is exactly one month old. A week ago, the baby was just discharged from the hospital after being treated for pneumonia. Now, the baby’s father has a cold, and the baby is also a bit short of breath. Will this cause a recurrence of pneumonia? What kind of medicine can I give to the baby? How was the previous treatment and its effectiveness? The baby is currently taking AG calcium and brain protein. What kind of help do I need? What medicine can I give to the baby?
Answer
Your baby’s pneumonia was primarily caused by viral and bacterial infections. It is recommended to rest more and, if necessary, undergo blood routine tests to take appropriate treatment and symptomatic supportive therapy based on the test results. It usually will not lead to the recurrence of pneumonia in your baby. It is suggested that you can give oral antibiotic medications such as cefaclor granules and mefenamic acid oral solution for symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to dietary habits and consume more nutrition.
