How to treat neonatal pneumonia? What are the causes of pneumonia in children?

It is said that children are angels sent by God, but these angels are often angels with broken wings. Some little angels can live healthily even if their wings are broken, but some angels are more fragile and sensitive. If their wings are broken, they may suffer from various diseases. Neonatal pneumonia is one of the diseases that little angels with broken wings are most likely to suffer from. So what are the factors that cause it and how can it be prevented? Let's take a look.

What factors cause pneumonia in children?

1. Pneumonia caused by amniotic fluid aspiration. When the baby is in the mother's womb, it is very likely that the baby will accidentally inhale the amniotic fluid into the lungs due to squeezing during the birth process, which can lead to lung inflammation.

2. Meconium aspiration pneumonia. Since the substances absorbed and excreted by the embryo during its development are all in the amniotic fluid, if meconium is inhaled into the lungs, meconium aspiration pneumonia may occur.

3. Milk aspiration pneumonia. Some children do not have any diseases during birth, but when they eat milk, they may inhale the milk into the bronchi because they eat too fast, and then directly reach the lungs, which leads to the onset of pneumonia.

How to treat neonatal pneumonia?

1. Symptomatic treatment. Whether it is amniotic fluid, meconium or breast milk, it may cause pneumonia in newborns. Therefore, if you want to prevent neonatal pneumonia, you must do regular prenatal checkups, and be careful when feeding your baby. Don't let the baby be hungry for a long time before feeding. This may cause the child to eat too fast and cause the disease.

2. Prevent and control infection. Because respiratory inflammation is caused by various bacterial infections, if you want to cure this disease, you must prevent the infection of the disease and prevent the occurrence of infection.

3. Clear the respiratory tract. When a child has pneumonia, the respiratory tract may be blocked due to spasm, which may cause suffocation in the baby. Therefore, it is important to relieve bronchial spasms and clear respiratory secretions to ensure the life, health and safety of the child.

Although neonatal pneumonia seems to be just an inflammatory disease, it is not a very serious disease for adults and can be cured with a little anti-infection treatment. However, since newborns do not have a certain resistance to many pathogens, it is easy for them to develop systemic sepsis due to the onset of pulmonary pneumonia. Therefore, parents must send their children to the hospital urgently when they find that their children have this disease, so as to avoid adverse consequences that threaten the life and health of their children. As long as they are sent to the hospital for timely treatment, the prognosis is actually relatively good.
