How to avoid pneumonia in children

For newborns, the biggest threat is how to overcome the test of the environment. A little cold may cause the child to have a cold and fever, and is more likely to be complicated by the risk of neonatal pneumonia. If a newborn has pneumonia in life, how can we avoid pediatric pneumonia?

1. Among neonatal pneumonia, the most common one is neonatal aspiration pneumonia. If your baby has lung inflammation due to inhalation of foreign matter (such as amniotic fluid, meconium, breast milk, etc.) through the respiratory tract in the womb, during delivery, or after birth, then he will be diagnosed with neonatal aspiration pneumonia. Some neonatal pneumonia is directly caused by infection with pathogens. Neonatal aspiration pneumonia and neonatal infectious pneumonia may exist independently, or they may be caused by secondary bacterial infection after aspiration.

2. It is very necessary for mothers to have regular prenatal checkups during pregnancy, especially in the late pregnancy, so that they can detect fetal intrauterine hypoxia problems in time. Obstetricians will take appropriate monitoring and treatment measures to minimize the occurrence of aspiration pneumonia and reduce the severity of the disease. Pregnant mothers should take good care of themselves during pregnancy, keep their living environment clean and hygienic, and pay attention to personal hygiene to prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases.

3. After the child is born, a clean and comfortable living space should be arranged for the child. The clothes and diapers used by the child should be soft and clean, and the feeding utensils should be sterilized. Parents and other relatives who come into contact with the child should wash their hands when caring for the newborn. It should be emphasized that adults with colds should avoid contact with newborns as much as possible. If the mother has a cold and must take care of the child and feed the baby, she should wear a mask. Guests who come to visit the newborn should be politely declined. If the child is found to have omphalitis or skin infection, go to the hospital immediately for treatment to prevent the spread of germs.

All parents hope that their children can grow up healthy. No one wants to deal with diseases every day. Neonatal pneumonia is a disease that can be prevented in advance. When the weather turns cooler, add as many clothes as possible to your child to prevent colds and fevers, which can also avoid the onset of neonatal pneumonia.
