The baby who is not yet full moon is playing with bubbles. The parents think the child is smart and playful, but the doctor diagnosed him with neonatal pneumonia. The day before yesterday, the doctor found that there were many white little bubbles on the mouth of the baby. It appeared irritable and unresponsive, and did not eat milk. The body temperature was only 35.5 degrees Celsius. Young parents puzzled, the baby does not cough, neonatal pneumonia vomit bubble symptoms? I'd like to share my views with you.

Does neonatal pneumonia vomit bubble symptom?

Due to the incomplete development of the neonatal nervous system, poor regulatory capacity, got pneumonia, early did not show cough or other typical symptoms. There will be a small number of pneumonia babies in the outpatient department who spit out bubbles at the outlet. This is because the trachea of the newborn is short and narrow, and funnel-shaped. When exhaling, the air in the lung rushes out through the narrow trachea, and the sputum in the trachea rushes out of the mouth through the short respiratory tract. When the air passes through the dirty sputum, bubbles are produced.

The central nervous system and salivary gland of newborn are not mature, and the amount of salivary secretion is small. 3-4 months later, the salivary gland begins to develop, and the amount of salivary secretion increases. However, at this time the baby's mouth is relatively shallow, swallowing can not be fully developed, lip closure and swallowing action is not coordinated, will not adjust the mouth too much saliva, so prone to drool and spit bubbles phenomenon. No treatment, it will disappear by itself!

Newborns, especially young, pneumonia symptoms are not obvious, generally no cough, body temperature does not rise, or even lower than normal! Sometimes, the only thing that can be observed is the phenomenon of "spitting bubbles" or gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea.

matters needing attention

Babies with pneumonia usually do not have fever or high fever, and cough is relatively less, especially in newborns with pneumonia. Cough is even less obvious. They tend to swallow phlegm into their stomach and then excrete it from their stools. Therefore, babies with pneumonia will have some sparse stools. I usually like to use the method of counting breath to judge the incidence of baby.
