What is the situation when a baby has many bleeding spots all over their face after crying uncontrollably?

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has been experiencing a series of issues, and I am very concerned, fearing that the child's condition may worsen. Could you please explain what it means when the baby has numerous small blood spots all over their face after crying?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, infant crying can cause congestion of the skin and mucous membranes, and the fragility of capillaries in the skin relatively increases, which may lead to small bleeding spots on the skin. This is not a big deal; it happens because of the effort during crying, causing capillaries to dilate, and in rare cases, they may even rupture. As long as a blood test shows normal platelet counts, you can rest assured that it will disappear in a few days.
The child is threatened by neonatal diseases, so family members must take the child to the hospital immediately for treatment to avoid blindly using small advertisements for medication. Rational medication is necessary. For parents, it is important to observe changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
