Question
What is the cause of a newborn coughing due to meconium aspiration syndrome?
Answer
We cannot provide specific opinions as we are unable to examine the child to understand their specific situation. It is recommended that you consult the child’s attending physician for a check-up and then provide advice. It is best to observe the child in the hospital for a few days to confirm there are no abnormal conditions before considering discharge. Since newborns have weak resistance, special care is needed.
