After a newborn baby gets pneumonia, what are the symptoms and how should parents take care of the baby? Please refer to the expert's introduction.
1. Newborns with pneumonia should be placed in an environment with fresh air, sufficient sunlight, and room temperature around 22℃～24℃. Water should be sprinkled on the floor frequently to maintain a certain level of humidity indoors.
Since it is easy for babies with pneumonia to choke during breastfeeding, the nipple should be removed every 4-5 sucks to allow the baby to rest for a moment before continuing feeding. This will reduce the incidence of choking.
As the baby eats less milk, coupled with factors such as shortness of breath and fever, the body's water consumption is often higher. Therefore, the frequency of feeding should be increased at this time, and the baby should be allowed to drink as much milk as possible to increase water intake and prevent dehydration. If dehydration has occurred and cannot be corrected by increasing feeding, intravenous fluid replacement should be given to correct dehydration.
