Some of the ways to determine if your 0~3 month old baby has pneumonia are as simple as observing the infant’s mental state and whether or not he or she has symptoms such as fever and cough.
After pneumonia occurs in 0~3 months old babies, they often have fever and cough symptoms. When pneumonia is severe, the child may have a persistent high fever and a severe cough. At this time, the child’s mental state is often poor, may appear depressed, or even sleepy and lethargic. In addition to this, the child also tends to have a poor appetite as well as vomiting.
However, weakened infants with severe pneumonia may show paradoxical signs such as normal body temperature and mild coughing. This is not that the pneumonia is not serious, but rather that the infant’s body has a weak resistance and is unable to fight off the pathogens causing it, and parents should pay attention to this.
Parents should pay attention to the symptoms of fever, cough and poor mental status of infants aged 0 to 3 months and actively take their children to the doctor.
