Abstract	Background: A newborn's respiratory distress is frequently caused by neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, or RDS, which usually manifests within hours after birth, usually right after delivery. Term infants are rarely affected by RDS, which mostly affects preterm neonates. Smaller and preterm newborns have a higher incidence of RDS, which is inversely correlated with the infant's gestational age. Although prenatal corticosteroids, surfactants, and sophisticated neonatal respiratory care are among the therapeutic approaches that have improved the outcomes for individuals with RDS, the condition remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality among preterm infants. Method: Chest physiotherapy manoeuvres are applied at regular intervals every day until the child is discharged. Conclusion: Early physiotherapeutic interventions have proved to be extremely effective in saving the life of such affected individuals.
