Early symptoms of infantile pneumonia?

summary

The early manifestations of neonatal pneumonia are shortness of breath, laborious, irregular, cough, spitting, etc. the sick baby will have varying degrees of cyanosis around the mouth and nose. Sometimes the baby is "cold" symptoms, such as nasal congestion, choking milk. But careful observation will find that the baby's breathing is very fast (more than 45 times / min), and may even be accompanied by breathing difficulties such as suprasternal fossa, intercostal space and xiphoid depression. If the mother has emergency labor, premature rupture of membranes and other situations, we should pay special attention to these situations above the baby. At the same time, if the mother and the baby have close contact with people who have recently suffered from upper respiratory tract infection, the baby also needs special care in this case.

Early symptoms of infantile pneumonia?

First: poor regulation function of respiratory center: due to the poor regulation function of cerebral cortex on respiratory center, the swallowing action is not coordinated, and amniotic fluid, meconium and milk are easily inhaled into the lungs. Infants with severe digestive tract malformations, such as congenital esophageal atresia, severe cleft lip and palate, are more prone to aspiration.

Second: the trachea is short and the lumen is dry: the trachea of the newborn is short and the lumen is dry, so its cilia have poor ability to remove bacteria and dust, and bacteria are easy to enter the lungs.

Third: neonatal lung tissue differentiation is not perfect: a small number of alveoli, pulmonary vessels are relatively rich, easy to hyperemia, inflammation. Low immune function: the newborn's immune function is low, and it is easy to be invaded by pathogens. If the mother suffers from infectious diseases before delivery, pathogens can cause fetal infection through the placenta, and its symptoms often appear within 24 hours after delivery.

matters needing attention

Ventilate your baby's room 1-2 times a day to keep the air fresh. Avoid children catching cold. When bathing in winter, the room temperature should be raised to 26 ℃ - 28 ℃ and the water temperature should be 38 ℃ - 40 ℃. It's better to test the water temperature with adults' elbows. After washing, wrap it up with a large dry towel blanket prepared in advance and gently dry it.
