A member asked:

Can a prematured baby with respiratory distress syndrome fully recovered?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Absolutely: There have been many studies showing excellent lung function in children who suffered from respiratory distress syndrome as premies. However, these babies may be more susceptible to long term consequences to the developing lungs of viral infections, cigarette smoke and allergens.
