Symptoms of neonatal pneumonia

Pneumonia refers to inflammation of the final airways, alveoli, and lung interstitium. Symptoms: fever, shortness of breath, persistent dry cough, possible unilateral chest pain, chest pain during deep breathing and coughing, small or large amount of sputum, may contain blood streaks. Young children with pneumonia are often subtle and may have a mild cough or no cough at all. Attention should be paid to prompt treatment. The treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia in children is basically the same as that of general pneumonia, and comprehensive treatment measures are adopted. It includes five aspects: general treatment, symptomatic treatment, application of antibiotics, adrenocorticosteroids, and treatment of extrapulmonary complications.1. General treatment of respiratory isolation due to mycoplasma infection can cause a small epidemic, and the time of mycoplasma excretion after the disease of children is longer, up to 1~2 months away. Symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection are present only in infancy, and pneumonia occurs only after repeated infections. At the same time, during the infection with mycoplasma, it is easy to be reinfected with other viruses, resulting in aggravation of the disease and prolongation of the disease. Therefore, respiratory isolation should be done for children or children with a history of close contact to prevent reinfection and cross-infection. Nursing keeps the air in the room fresh, provides digestible, nutritious food and enough fluids. Maintain oral hygiene and airway patency, frequently turn the child over, pat the back, change the position, promote the discharge of secretions, and if necessary, properly suction sputum and remove viscous secretions.
