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. How should cytomegalovirus infection in infants be handled?Doctor's answer:
At 4 months, infants are more likely to have croup, and the symptoms you described are similar to this condition. Croup is caused by a viral infection, and antibiotics like cefalexin are not effective unless there is a secondary bacterial infection. In foreign countries, the treatment for this condition primarily focuses on symptomatic relief, including appropriate, chest physiotherapy, and suction. Cytomegalovirus infection is relatively complex, and some do not recommend continuing breastfeeding.Hello, if your baby has symptoms like redness in the palms and soles, a warm head without fever, it may indicate a more severe accumulation of heat in the lungs and stomach. It is recommended to drink more water, eat a light diet, and fast for a while. Additionally, consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for treatment with herbs that clear the lungs, strengthen the stomach, and aid digestion.
