I ve been in a plyhydramnios condition. I gave birth at 39 weeks to a baby boy and now currently experiencing hard to swallow condition and having hard time to breathe, without the aid of oxygen machine he can t breathe, the neonatalogist said my baby has pneumonia. Please do help on what medical advice you can give me.
Child if presents with Respiratory distress soon after birth, can be due to either Congenital pneumonia, TNB, HMD in preterm, or Meconium aspiration. In your case, pneumonia in neonates is a serious condition. It requires usually 7 to 10 days of I.V. antibiotics with oxygen supplementation. If the child has been put on a ventilator machine, that suggests a very poor prognosis for the child. The child will require a good nursery care with heavy antibiotics(according to culture sensitivity if positive) in form of Injection Reopened, Vancomycin or any third generation Cephalosporin. X-ray might give us a clue on how bad the chest is.
