What should we pay attention to during the recovery period of neonatal pneumonia?

A little discomfort in a newborn baby can cause a health crisis. After all, the body is very fragile and the body's immunity is also very poor. If there are problems such as colds or fevers, if they are not handled promptly and correctly, it is easy to cause pneumonia, which will make the situation more serious. After treatment, you must also seriously take care of your life. So what should you pay attention to during the recovery period of neonatal pneumonia?

Ensure fresh indoor air. After a baby with neonatal pneumonia is discharged from the hospital, the air in the room he stays in should be fresh. It's best to open the windows regularly for ventilation, usually in the morning after the sun comes out, and continue for at least half an hour. However, be careful to avoid convection wind blowing on your baby to prevent him from catching a cold.

Control indoor temperature and humidity. For babies with neonatal pneumonia, the most suitable indoor temperature in the room is 18-22℃, and the most suitable humidity is 50%-70%. Moist indoor air is conducive to the elimination of phlegm and helps babies with neonatal pneumonia recover as soon as possible. If it's winter, or the air is dry in your area, you can use a humidifier in your baby's room or place a sink, damp cloth, etc. over the heater. Wiping floors and furniture with a damp cloth can also help increase the humidity in the air.

Avoid clothing that is too thick or too tight. Be careful not to dress the child in clothes that are too thick or too tight, or cover him with a heavy blanket, as these will affect the baby's breathing. Baby clothes should be made of cotton, light, loose and breathable. The thickness of the clothes should be such that the back of the baby's neck feels warm and sweat-free when touched.

Parents should observe the changes of their baby carefully. If your baby shows signs of sleep disturbance, crying, or eating less milk after being discharged from the hospital, you should take your baby to the hospital in time to see if there are any complications, sequelae, etc. Change body positions regularly. When your baby is quiet, you can place him or her on his or her back. But you should pay attention to changing his position regularly to increase his lung ventilation, reduce lung congestion and promote the discharge of sputum.

Family members still need to pay attention to what to pay attention to during the recovery period of neonatal pneumonia. In fact, the reason why many babies develop pneumonia is largely related to inadequate daily living adjustments, poor indoor air quality, and bacterial infection. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure fresh air and do not let children have too much close contact with adults.
