What should I do if the baby is in an incubator?

Patient's question:

The child just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask what to do with the baby in the incubator

Doctor's answer:

Hello, at this age of birth, it should be considered premature. Pay attention to keeping warm and taking good care of nursing. If the constitution is relatively poor, it is necessary to maintain in an incubator for a period of time. In this case, there may be a possibility of enteritis or dysentery. It is recommended that you take the child to the hospital for a routine stool examination and blood test to confirm the condition before symptomatic treatment to avoid delaying the condition. If it is dysentery, it should be treated with intravenous fluids, anti-inflammatory and fluid replacement as soon as possible.
