Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn treatment in Cancún

Retained fetal lung fluid, also called transient tachypnea of the newborn, is temporary breathing difficulty that appears shortly after birth when the baby's lungs do not fully clear the fluid they held before birth. It usually resolves within the first few days of life.

Common signs: rapid breathing, nasal flaring, breathing sounds, and occasionally mild bluish discoloration that the health care staff monitors closely.

When is it assessed? It is detected during newborn care, so medical follow-up is continuous from birth.

Which specialist treats it? The neonatologist and the pediatrician observe the baby's breathing, while the gynecologist accompanies the delivery process. Parents can raise any questions with these professionals for greater peace of mind.
