Question
My baby is one month and nine days old. She has been coughing and congested for five days, with a sore throat and phlegm. We took her to the hospital today, where a blood test was conducted. The doctor said there was a wheezing sound, indicating pneumonia. She was prescribed traditional Chinese medicine and ceftriaxone. Could you please take a look at the report and assess the severity of the condition?
Answer
Based on the information provided, the baby has been diagnosed with pneumonia, and the test results alone cannot predict the severity of the condition. The severity of pneumonia needs to be assessed comprehensively by considering the baby’s spirits, feeding status, and clinical symptoms. It is recommended to follow the doctor’s prescription for medication and to carefully observe the baby’s condition.
