Patient's question:
Health consultation description: Hello, my son was born on May 8th. He was in good spirits at birth and was very active looking for milk! However, on the morning of the 9th, the hospital called him for a bath. After the bath, he kept taking naps? We thought it was because he felt comfortable after the bath and that's why he took a nap? But by the evening, he was still sleeping and not eating milk! I took him to the doctor. After the blood test, the doctor said there was inflammation and needed to be hospitalized. It might be sepsis! The blood count was high! The heart rate was low? Hello, is this situation serious? Can it be treated well?Doctor's answer:
Hello; Septicemia refers to bacteria entering the bloodstream, growing and adapting within it, and producing toxins, leading to a systemic severe infectious disease. Sensitive antibiotics should be used as early as possible. When the pathogen is unclear, the choice of medication can be determined based on the route of bacterial invasion, the age of the child, clinical manifestations, etc. Antibiotics are typically used, or a combination of drugs targeting Gram-positive cocci and Gram-negative bacilli is employed. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
