Question

Can neonatal pneumonia be cured?

Answer

Neonatal pneumonia may not show typical clinical symptoms. If the baby shows symptoms such as refusing to breastfeed, showing a lack of energy, purple lips, bubbling sounds, coughing after feeding, or rapid breathing, it is important to seek medical consultation and treatment promptly. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain good indoor air circulation, prevent the baby from catching a cold by dressing and covering appropriately, keeping the room temperature suitable, avoiding contact with people who have cold symptoms; if the mother has a cold, she should wear a mask when interacting with the baby. Moreover, it is advisable to avoid frequent kissing of the baby to prevent the spread of germs from the respiratory tract. In terms of feeding, precautions should also be taken to prevent the baby from inhaling breast milk.
