If there is still a lot of phlegm in the baby's throat after discharge, as long as the symptoms of pneumonia improve, there is not much problem. However, if there is a lot of phlegm in the throat, it will heal on its own after a period of time.
How to care for babies with pneumonia
If the baby is of a younger age, it is necessary to adhere to breastfeeding. Breast milk contains antibodies that can resist bacterial and viral infections, so mothers must adhere to breastfeeding, which is helpful for the recovery of the baby's pneumonia.
If the baby suffers from pneumonia, parents should ensure indoor ventilation, fresh air, etc., and the indoor temperature should not be lower than 20 degrees. Smoking is not allowed indoors as the smell of smoke can irritate the baby's respiratory tract and worsen the condition. If there is secretion in the baby's nasal cavity, it should be cleared in a timely manner.
3. After the baby unfortunately suffers from pneumonia, it is necessary to strengthen physical exercise and expose themselves to more sunlight on a daily basis. However, during the flu season, it is advisable to avoid going to places with poor air quality or densely populated areas. Poor air quality can worsen the condition and harm the baby's health.
