Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child. I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with a series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will get worse. Please ask what the infant blood test checks for.Doctor's answer:
After a baby is born, a blood test is conducted, which is a type of newborn screening. It mainly detects some hidden diseases, such as congenital hypothyroidism, phenylketonuria, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, etc. If the child is harmed by newborn diseases, the mother must take the child to seek medical treatment immediately and avoid blindly using small advertisements for drugs. It is necessary to use medication reasonably. For parents, it is important to observe the changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
