Question
When a newborn has severe difficulty breathing at birth, doesn’t cry, and is hospitalized after treatment, they are found to have pneumonia, electrolyte imbalance, high blood sugar, and a heart murmur during cardiac auscultation. Is this condition easy to treat?
Answer
Severe respiratory distress in newborns can lead to elevated blood sugar and electrolyte imbalances. With appropriate treatment, these conditions can gradually stabilize. Pneumonia requires anti-infection treatment and may leave residual symptoms, so attention should be paid to the brain disease caused by respiratory distress.
