Question
What’s causing the baby to spit up saliva bubbles on the 10th day of birth?
Answer
After being born for 10 days, the baby has been spitting up bubbles of saliva after feeding on milk and water, with no other symptoms such as a high fever. When considering the health condition, it is important to note whether there are any other symptoms besides spitting up saliva bubbles, such as choking or vomiting. When newborns are infected with pneumonia, their symptoms may not be as typical as in older children and can easily be overlooked. Therefore, it should be taken seriously. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up and undergo a chest X-ray. If diagnosed with pneumonia, regular intravenous treatment is required, with an average course of 7 to 10 days.
