Question

My newborn is 24 days old and has previously been on medication for pneumonia, but they have stopped the medication on their own. Now, the situation with vomiting milk has become severe. I would like to inquire about the causes of pneumonia.

Answer

Neonatal pneumonia can be categorized into three types: pre-natal, perinatal, and post-natal infections. Common causes of post-natal infections include catching a cold or coughing during feeding. It is recommended to hold the baby upright and gently pat their back after changing diapers to help with burping, which can alleviate the vomiting of milk.
