Question
A 29-day-old newborn was discharged from the incubator after 11 days of treatment for pneumonia. However, there is still a cough in the throat, and on the third day at home, the baby’s sleep has decreased, feeding is slow, and there is a decrease in nighttime feeding with symptoms of vomiting. What could be the cause?
Answer
Maintain fresh indoor air by regularly opening windows for ventilation, keeping the room temperature at 22-25 degrees Celsius, and humidity at 50%-60%. Avoid taking the baby to public places, especially during the peak season for colds, to prevent cross-infection. Gradually adjust and care for the baby to prevent catching a cold and feeling chilled.
