What are the dangers of childhood pneumonia to children?

Neonatal pneumonia is a common disease and it occurs in all seasons. Its occurrence will cause more harm to children and affect their development. The harm caused by the occurrence of neonatal pneumonia is particularly serious. We must pay attention to it. Let’s take a look at the harm caused by neonatal pneumonia.

Regardless of the type of neonatal pneumonia, severe cases are dangerous. For example, infectious pneumonia can cause large areas of infection in the lungs, and even form abscesses and necrosis, which seriously affect the respiratory function of the sick child. The bacteria may also spread throughout the body and cause more serious complications such as sepsis and meningitis.

Neonatal pneumonia should be diagnosed early, treated early, and treated actively to curb the progression of the disease. Most neonatal pneumonia can be completely cured through active and effective treatment, without any sequelae, and will not recur. However, severe pneumonia is combined with infection or damage to other organs in the body. If it is damage to the nervous system, there is a possibility of sequelae.

Most neonatal pneumonia requires hospitalization. Doctors will take different treatments for different causes. Generally, the hospitalization period is 1-2 weeks. When the symptoms of pneumonia disappear, the child can breastfeed normally, and other laboratory tests return to normal, the child can be discharged from the hospital.

After understanding the above knowledge, everyone should be clearly aware of the dangers of neonatal pneumonia. This disease affects the health of many newborns, so we should pay attention to this disease and take it seriously. When our baby shows symptoms of this disease, treatment must be timely.
