<human>: 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.
<bot>: 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.
