A member asked:

How long will my 35-week newborn baby be on life-support for pneumonia and asthma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: The specifics of your case is known best by the treating physicians. I would expect no less than a 10 day course of treatment, but more than that would require a better knowledge of the specifics of the case.Keeping up to date with the treating doc can answer your question.
