Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has been experiencing a series of situations, and I am also very worried, afraid that the condition will worsen. Please ask if there is a need for an injection after the umbilical cord falls off and there is bleeding.Doctor's answer:
Hello, in your current situation, it is only necessary to prevent infection. You can apply some gentian violet or tincture of iodine. The diet should be light and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Drink more water and get more sun. Deficiency of trace elements can lead to decreased blood calcium, which increases the excitability of the brain and vegetative nervous system, causing the baby to sleep poorly at night. Calcium and vitamin D need to be supplemented. If the baby is calcium-deficient, the fontanelles may not close properly. If the baby is zinc-deficient, the corners of the mouth are often prone to ulcers.
