Patient's question:
The newborn has been hospitalized in the neonatal ward for a month due to meconium aspiration syndrome. The inflammation has completely subsided. There is developmental abnormality of the laryngeal soft tube. Yesterday, they were taken out of the incubator, and an MRI of the brain showed that the left brain is much rounder. Then last night, the nurse in charge said they coughed three times. I suspected they caught a cold after being taken out of the incubator yesterday. The doctor asked if we should focus on careful observation for one more day or be discharged. I would like to hear the opinions of the doctors!Doctor's answer:
This is because we are unable to examine the child and provide specific advice. We can only recommend that the child's attending physician check the child's temperature and other indicators before giving guidance. Since we cannot examine the child and understand its specific condition, it is not appropriate to offer specific advice. We suggest you consult the child's attending physician to have the child examined before making any recommendations. It is best to wait a few days for careful observation at the hospital. If the child shows no abnormalities, then consider discharge. Newborns have relatively weaker immunity.
