Question
How to treat newborn pneumonia and cough?
Answer
If a newborn only has cough symptoms without any other discomfort, special treatment is usually not required. You can let the baby drink plenty of warm water and maintain moderate indoor humidity. If the cough is accompanied by fever, yellow thick sputum, or an increase in white blood cells indicating inflammation, antibiotic treatment can be used under a doctor’s guidance, such as kanamycin and amoxicillin. In addition, symptomatic treatment should be carried out according to the cause of the cough.
