Patient's question:
My good sister just gave birth to a child recently. Lately, my sister's child has been experiencing extremely irritability and has been crying a lot. At the same time, she also developed. Later, after a check-up, it was found that she had newborn tetanus.Doctor's answer:
Supplement nutrition, water, and electrolytes, and it is essential to pay attention to the balance of nutrition and water and electrolytes. Especially when jaw stiffness and throat spasm make eating difficult, enteral feeding with liquid diet or intravenous high nutrition is required.Additionally, tetanus is a disease that cannot consume spicy foods, such as seafood. If a child is affected by neonatal tetanus, the mother must take the child to the hospital immediately for treatment. Avoid blindly using small-advertising drugs and ensure rational medication. For parents, timely attention to the child's condition is necessary, and they should do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
