Question
What should be done when a newborn has been coughing for 27 days?
Answer
After 27 days of coughing, the newborn was diagnosed with pneumonia and was hospitalized. After a week of treatment, the coughing still persists. The doctor advises that the treatment for pneumonia should last for ten days, and the entire course must be completed to ensure full recovery. During this period, if the condition does not heal on its own, the baby should not be discharged prematurely to avoid the symptoms reappearing soon after returning home. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.
