My daughter was diagnosed with transient tachypnea 6 days ago after birth. Another x ray today revealed no improvement with reduction of fluid on lungs and a drop in saturated oxygen was observed. Doctors have put her back on oxygen and told me another week to clear. This seems a very long time for TTN to be a problem.....? What else could be issue?
Hello dearWelcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query thoroughly.* There are different reasons for the same - Infection of the lung either bacterial or viral - Birth time aspiration of amniotic fluid - Other immunity related issues of the lungs.* Needs detailed case evaluation, certain lab tests and close observation to the progress of the para meters in the intensive care unit.* Have to keep patience, it will take time for sure. Hope this will help you. Welcome for further assistance. Regards.
