Discuss the treatment principles for neonatal pneumonia, as well as the severity and self-healing possibility of patent ductus arteriosus and patent foramen ovale.
If a newborn is found to have an unclosed arterial duct, parents should regularly take their child for cardiac Doppler ultrasound examinations to observe whether the duct closes spontaneously. If it remains unclosed within one year, surgical treatment should be considered to avoid affecting the child’s growth and development and heart function. In addition, attention should be paid to potential issues such as increased heart structure and decreased function caused by the unclosed arterial duct, and regular follow-up at the pediatric cardiology clinic is recommended.

Treatment Suggestions for Children with Congenital Heart Disease and Ventricular Septal Defect
Down syndrome, also known as mongolism and trisomy 21, is one of the most common chromosomal diseases causing intellectual disability. Its main characteristics include intellectual disability, growth delay, distinctive facial features, palm perforations, congenital heart disease, and gastrointestinal malformations. The prevalence of Down syndrome is not directly related to race or living standards, with an estimated one in every 660 newborns affected, making it the most common chromosomal abnormality.
