I'm here to send health
As a parent, the biggest concern is your baby's health. Especially in winter, when the temperature fluctuates greatly, babies are prone to colds, which can lead to pneumonia. According to statistics, pneumonia is one of the main causes of infant mortality in China. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the symptoms of pneumonia, detect it in time, and **. Here, we would like to remind parents that when the baby coughs non-stop, they should be alert to the following seven pneumonia symptoms!
1. Persistent cough.
Cough is one of the typical symptoms of pneumonia. If your baby has a persistent cough, especially at night and early in the morning, there is a high suspicion of pneumonia. It should be noted that the coughing ability of newborns is weak, and parents should pay close attention to whether the baby has symptoms such as shortness of breath and difficulty breathing.
2. Fever. Fever is a common symptom of pneumonia, and when a baby has pneumonia, the temperature is usually 385 or more, and for a longer period of time. It should be noted that the symptoms of neonatal pneumonia fever may not be obvious, and parents should closely observe the baby's mental state and respiratory status.
3. Shortness of breath.
Shortness of breath is particularly evident in babies with pneumonia. Parents can observe the number of breaths per minute of the baby, and if it exceeds 60 breaths, there is a high suspicion of pneumonia. In addition, you can also observe the baby's nasal flaring, recesses and other phenomena, which are all symptoms of pneumonia.
Fourth, lack of energy.
Babies with pneumonia tend to be sluggish, pale, and lose their appetite. Parents should pay close attention to the baby's mental state, and if the baby is found to be asleep for a long time, not eating or drinking, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time.
5. Chest pain. Babies with pneumonia may feel chest pain when they breathe. This is because pneumonia causes inflammation of the lungs, which compresses the pleura. Parents should closely observe whether the baby is crying, refusing to eat and other manifestations.
6. Cyanosis of the lips.
Due to the lack of oxygen, pneumonia babies will have symptoms such as cyanosis of the lips and cyanosis of the nail beds. Parents can observe the baby's lips and nail beds, and if cyanosis is found, they should see a doctor as soon as possible.
7. Diarrhea. 
Some babies with pneumonia may have diarrhea because pneumonia affects the digestive system. Parents should pay attention to the baby's stool, and if they find that the stool frequency increases and it is watery, they should be alert to the possibility of pneumonia.
In the face of pneumonia, how can parents prevent and take care of it? Here are some suggestions:
1.Pay attention to indoor ventilation: keep indoor air circulation, reduce the breeding of viruses and bacteria, and reduce the risk of your baby contracting pneumonia.
2.Strengthen immunity: pay attention to the baby's diet nutrition, appropriately supplement vitamin C, zinc and other nutrients to enhance the baby's resistance.
3.Prevent colds: When the temperature fluctuates, add clothes to your baby to avoid colds.
4.Vaccinate on time: According to China's children's immunization program, vaccinate your baby in time to prevent pneumonia and other diseases.
5.Home care: When your baby has a cold, pay attention to the changes in your condition and seek medical attention in time. While at home, give your baby plenty of water to keep your airway open.
6.Develop good living habits: regular work and rest, ensure adequate sleep, and enhance the body's resistance.
7.Master the correct feeding method: Newborn mothers should master the correct breastfeeding posture to avoid pneumonia caused by inhaling milk.
In short, parents should pay close attention to the baby's cough symptoms, and if there is persistent cough, fever, shortness of breath, etc., they should highly suspect the possibility of pneumonia. Timely medical treatment and symptomatic treatment can ensure the healthy growth of the baby. At the same time, the risk of pneumonia infection in babies is reduced by strengthening home care, preventing colds, vaccinations and other measures. May every baby grow up healthily and stay away from pneumonia!
