Is neonatal pneumonia serious? Don’t panic, read this article to understand the course of the disease

Question 1: My daughter has been hospitalized for pneumonia for three days and still has a cough and occasional recurring fever. What usually causes pneumonia? In what season do you usually pay more attention to it? Is it true that once you have pneumonia, it will come back frequently? Dr. Wang Yanli answered: Pneumonia can be mild or severe. If you still have cough and fever after being hospitalized for several days, you can review your blood count and chest X-ray to understand the infection and lung changes. If necessary, you need to adjust your medication. If you are getting better every day since admission, but are not completely healed, you need to continue medication. Recovery from the disease will take time. The course of pneumonia usually lasts from one to two weeks. After three days, the medicine starts to take effect and the infection is not completely controlled, so fever will still occur. All you need to do is cooperate with the doctor, help pat the back, drink more water, and let the child pay more attention to rest, and the disease will recover faster. Pneumonia usually occurs when the seasons change, when the temperature changes suddenly, in the spring and autumn and autumn and winter seasons, and when infectious diseases are high. Usually, children should be exposed to the sun every day, do outdoor activities, enhance their resistance, and pay attention to rest. Pneumonia is infected by bacterial, viral, mycoplasma and other pathogens. Generally, it can be cured once and the current infection will be cured and will not recur. If the resistance is strong, it will be less likely to catch colds and pneumonia. Question 2: My baby is four months old and has congenital cleft palate. His weight has been growing very slowly. He was 4 pounds when he was born and is now just over 7 pounds. Last month, he was found to be allergic to cow\’s milk protein. He switched to amino acid milk powder, which is about 500 ml a day. The growth is still slow. A friend said that the rice oil grown from millet and mixed with milk powder will grow faster. Can I drink it? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: It is not recommended to drink milk. Milk has the most comprehensive nutrition and is most suitable for babies. Children eat less milk, so they should consume 600-800 ml a day. Check the blood routine to see if there is anemia. If there is no anemia, you can take Baby Jianpi Powder to check, or you can take lysinositol B12 to enhance appetite. Question 3: My child likes to dislocate his arm. Can I take some calcium supplement? Dr. Xu Lijuan’s answer: Dislocation has nothing to do with calcium deficiency. It is mainly a problem of muscle and ligament development. Be careful not to pull the child too hard. It will gradually get better with age.
