Understand the necessity of follow-up examinations for newborns after discharge from asphyxia, and how to provide appropriate post-discharge care based on clinical conditions.
The newborn has recently been diagnosed with pneumonia and has now been discharged. Is follow-up treatment necessary?
The severity of a child’s pneumonia determines whether hospitalization is necessary. If the symptoms are not severe, it is generally recommended to go home and receive medication and nursing care, gradually improving. If the symptoms are more severe, hospitalization may still be required. At the hospital, doctors can better understand the condition and provide timely diagnosis and treatment. Pneumonia is a relatively dangerous disease for children, so I suggest you follow the doctor’s advice for treatment, while also ensuring your child stays hydrated and pays attention to their care.
Neonatal pneumonia is a common pediatric disease with a course of about two weeks. However, if not properly cared for or if there is another cold, it may lead to the recurrence of pneumonia.
Pneumonia can cause high fever, which is the body’s self-defense mechanism against pathogens. It is recommended that patients actively cooperate with their doctors’ treatment and ensure adequate rest to enhance their resistance. Avoid spicy or fried foods, and drink plenty of hot water to promote recovery. Maintaining a positive attitude helps boost the vitality of the immune system. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
After 5 days of intravenous treatment for infant pneumonia, do you still need to continue taking anti-inflammatory medication? I have already been taking medication for 10 days, can I continue?
If a child has a persistent fever for five days without improvement, hospitalization may be necessary for antibiotic anti-inflammatory treatment and symptomatic therapy for pneumonia.
The recommended duration of treatment for neonatal pneumonia is generally not more than seven days, and fever above 38 degrees Celsius can be treated with fever-reducing drugs.
If a baby has a cold, coughs, and has a fever at night, with the cough worsening during sleep, and the symptoms persist for over two weeks despite medication, it may be time to seek immediate medical attention. Understanding the early symptoms of neonatal pneumonia can help identify the disease early.
