Patient's question:
Sister Ju recently had a child. She was born in 1978 and is considered a high-risk pregnancy. When the child was born, her body showed many poor symptoms. In recent days, she has been feeling a low-grade fever that won't go away, and many bruises have reappeared on her skin. Later, the doctor conducted a thorough examination and diagnosed it as neonatal sepsis. She doesn't know which treatment would be most effective.What assistance is needed: If neonatal sepsis is not treated, what consequences might occur?
Doctor's answer:
It will cause significant interference in his future life. Antibiotics should be used based on blood culture results and bacterial drug sensitivity tests. Typically, a combination of one penicillin-class and one aminoglycoside-class antibiotic is used as a preliminary treatment.Medical advice: Given the patient has jaundice, phototherapy should be administered. Pay attention to preventing hypothermia, maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance, and ensuring adequate digestive calories. Correct acidosis and aspiration promptly. Address local infection foci, such as the umbilicus and skin, as well.
