Prevention knowledge of pneumonia in children

Every parent hopes that their children can grow up healthily. When a child suffers from neonatal pneumonia, parents will be very worried. We need to understand the relevant knowledge to easily deal with the disease. Let us learn about the prevention knowledge of pediatric pneumonia, hoping to help you:

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.

It is very necessary for mothers to have regular prenatal checkups during pregnancy, especially in the late pregnancy, so that they can detect fetal hypoxia 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.

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.

Through the understanding of the above content, we already know very clearly what are the prevention measures for neonatal pneumonia. In life, we must learn more about the relevant knowledge. When the disease occurs, we must treat it in time. We must also pay more attention to the child’s hygiene and not smoke in the child’s room.
