Neonatal pneumonia is divided into inhalational pneumonia (amniotic fluid, meconium, and breast milk) and infectious pneumonia (intrauterine and postnatal infections). In addition to shortness of breath, depression, little crying and refusal to feed, there is also white foam in the mouth, blue triangle around the mouth, moaning and nodding breathing. The simplest way to determine if you have pneumonia is twofold: 1. Counting breaths: According to the World Health Organization’s Acute Respiratory Infection Control in Children (ARI) program: When an infant less than two months old has a number of breaths per minute greater than or equal to 60 in a quiet state, it can be considered increased respiration; if the number of breaths per minute is greater than (or equal to) 60, it can be determined that the child has increased respiration; 2. Observe the chest depression: infants less than two months old can see the lower end of the chest wall sink significantly inward when they inhale. This is called chest depression. This is due to the fact that when suffering from pneumonia, the child needs to inhale harder than usual in order to complete gas exchange. If a newborn has both increased respiration and a significant chest depression, he or she is diagnosed with severe pneumonia and must be hospitalized. The easiest way to do this internationally is to count the number of breaths. When a newborn breathes more than 60 times per minute, it is possible that the newborn has pneumonia (or it may be more serious than pneumonia) and should be taken to the hospital immediately. Fetal aspiration pneumonia and intrauterine infectious pneumonia are more serious and more difficult to treat than regular pneumonia. All neonatal pneumonia requires hospitalization. The newborn pneumonia care: 1, to closely observe the baby’s temperature changes, mental status, respiratory condition. The newborn pneumonia is a very important part of the newborn’s life. 2, the indoor air should be fresh, too stuffy too hot for pneumonia children are very bad, can make the cough aggravated, sputum thickened, more difficult to breathe. The humidity inside the room should also be appropriate. A water basin should be placed on the stove and some water should be sprinkled on the floor frequently so that the indoor air is not too dry. If possible, a humidifier can be placed. The indoor temperature for newborns should be 20°C to 24°C, and the relative humidity should be maintained at 60%, and the indoor air should be kept circulating, but avoid convection to prevent getting cold. 3, newborns with pneumonia are often reluctant to eat milk, attention should be paid to replenish sufficient fluids and heat, in addition to attention to feeding milk, can be infused with glucose solution. You can also buy bags of glucose powder to brew water for him to drink. (Glucose is used in the treatment of hypoglycemia, can not drink too much, to drink under the guidance of the doctor, in principle, more than most should not drink glucose water, it is best to give the baby to drink plain water, but when the child in the disease, refusal to eat, the body is extremely weak, to ensure that the child’s basic metabolic caloric needs, short time feeding with glucose, is desirable, sometimes intravenous infusion of glucose, is this reason.) If bruising or choking occurs around the mouth and nose of the child while breastfeeding, it should be stopped immediately and oxygen should be administered. After the condition is stabilized, breastfeeding should also be done in small amounts several times. 4. The child loses more water due to fever, sweating and fast breathing, so feed more water, which can also moisten the throat and make the thick sputum thin and the airway clear. If necessary, you can go to the hospital to do sputum nebulization. 5.Since eating milk can aggravate wheezing, don’t use bottle feeding, you should use small spoon feeding instead. 6. Pay attention to the presence of dry crusts in the baby’s nasal cavity. If there is, use a cotton swab dipped in water and gently remove it to solve the breathing problems caused by nasal obstruction.
