Patient's question:
My baby's doctor said there was a 3-degree amniotic fluid infection. On the day of birth, I had a chest X-ray, and the doctor said my baby was breathing a bit rapidly. Yesterday, I visited to see if they were doing phototherapy for jaundice. Today, they called to say the small blood blisters on my baby's head have shrunk a bit, but the main issue is still the lung infection. Besides jaundice, they said my baby might still be discharged next Tuesday. The cost is so high! When I asked for a detailed bill, they said they didn't have one. Can my baby be discharged?Doctor's answer:
Mainly it is a lung infection, which can cause significant interference to the newborn. In severe cases, it may lead to a recurrence of heart failure. Therefore, the baby should not be discharged until the lung infection is completely cured to avoid leaving behind any sequelae.Medical advice: Amniotic fluid with 3-degree meconium staining can primarily cause fetal aspiration pneumonia and fetal respiratory distress. Therefore, active treatment of lung infection after birth is necessary to prevent a recurrence of heart failure that could harm the baby's life.
The above advice is for the question "My baby's doctor said the amniotic fluid is 3 degrees infected, what should I do?" It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
