Question
How should newborns be treated for pneumonia?
Answer
What causes pneumonia? How long does it take to fully recover? What should be paid attention to now? Newborn pneumonia is usually caused by bacterial or viral infections, with symptoms including rapid breathing, coughing, and fever. Treatment methods include the use of antibiotics or antiviral medications, as well as supportive therapies such as oxygen therapy and maintaining fluid balance. The time for full recovery depends on the severity of the infection and the response to treatment, generally taking a few days to several weeks. During treatment, it is important to observe any changes in the newborn’s symptoms, maintain a clean and hygienic environment, avoid cross-infection, and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment and care.
