Hello dear!
your baby was born premature and so the treatment includes antibiotic for possible infection,aminophylline for apnea of prematurity and fluids including Potassium and calcium that are normally required in a neonate who is admitted in ICU.Cpap os contiuous positive airway pressure to help the preterm babies breath if they have RDS.So the treatment is appropriate.Hope it will answer your question :-)
Wishing your child a speedy recovery and sound health.
