Neonatal pneumonia is primarily aspiration pneumonia, which differs from the symptoms of pneumonia in adults. Neonates do not exhibit signs such as coughing or expectoration. Instead, they often show symptoms of anorexia, vomiting, gasping, and fever. During physical examination, wet rales can be heard through auscultation. Once pneumonia is diagnosed, the first step is to clear the newborn's respiratory tract to maintain its patency. At the same time, selecting appropriate antimicrobial drugs to actively control the infection can lead to recovery. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)
