Neonatal pneumonia is a severe illness that can be categorized into aspiration pneumonia and infectious pneumonia. Depending on the age of birth and the cause of the child, symptoms include difficulty breathing, cyanosis, and nasal flaring after aspiration of amniotic fluid, as well as difficulty breathing, cyanosis, shortness of breath, and fever caused by infectious pneumonia. There may also be signs of poor spirits, difficulty latching onto the breast, and vomiting white foam.
The symptoms of neonatal pneumonia within 50 days include the appearance of blue or milk rejection reactions around the mouth, milk suffocation, nasal flaring, inspiratory triad, and hypoactivity. Due to the underdeveloped lungs of newborns, they may not exhibit coughing symptoms. Some children may have upper respiratory tract infection symptoms in the early stages, such as nasal congestion and runny nose. When parents see their newborns vomiting foam, not eating or crying, they should be vigilant. If the baby shows poor responsiveness, a blue or gray complexion, moaning like an adult, and shortness of breath, with the tiny nose continuously stimulating the small head to breathe a little at a time (medically known as nodding respiration), and the soft tissue between the sternum and ribs sinking during inhalation, the situation is quite serious, and immediate hospital treatment should be sought.
